The dim display could be caused by a faulty inverter. The inverter supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp that provides the back light to the LCD screen.

If your laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LED flashes, then the problem is probably a back light fault. This can be a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp. Please click on this link and follow my instructions to identify the fault and possible fix :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3598095-faulty_laptop_lcd_screen

SOURCE: Sony Vaio Display problem

Hi,

Since the Sony Vaio VGN-CR220E works except that the display is dark, then it would be safe to assume that it is only the LCD display part that is the issue. Often LCD display (of laptops) are working but only that you can not see the actual display. One way to verify is to shine a flashlight at an oblique angle to the screen, semblance or part of the desktop could be seen s what you have done. If the desktop could be seen (albeit very very dark background) then it could either be the CCF Lamps (cold cathode florescent) or the inverter that powers the lamps.

Often, the defective component would be the inverter. It is relatively easy to replace the inverted. It is sometimes more difficult and challenging cracking open the casing of the display panel of the laptop than replacing the inverter. Additionally, inverters are readily available online. It is also not surprising that inverters for other brands/models would also be used in your Sony Vaio VGN-CR220E .

Of course another possibility is that there is just a loose connection or a cold solder in the LCD panel display's circuit boards.

This would be a good place to start for inverter boards. This is a nice tutorial if you are considering a DIY.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: my sony vaio vgn-n365e screen is Dim

The fault could be a faulty CCFL lamp or inverter.
To determine if you have a LCD screen, inverter or video card problem, read this and follow these instructions.
Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom: Screen flashs on red/pink and off. Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal. Picture flickering with dim display or appear black. Picture flickering on and off. All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp.
Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power the monitor up first then the laptop, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight. Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

SOURCE: how do you replace a sony vaio ux lcd screen?

Basically remove all screws holding the front bezel (screws are behind the rubber thingies). Once you have pried off the bezel there are several screws on each side of the screen. Removing these will be needed, along with any remaining screws on the top and bottom. Once the screen can be leaned forward, with a sheet of paper towel, on the keyboard. There is a long connector at the top of the screen; remove this connector. Another smaller connector is at the bottom, remove it as well. This ought to get you well on your way!

Broken screen

The tap 20 is new and uses a proprietary screen, you should be covered under SONY's 24 month warranty. SONY has not released tap 20 replacement screens to OEMs yet. At least my repair shop cannot order them. You will probably have to go through SONY for at least a few more months. Even big shops like Best Buy must send them out to SONY.

Even when they do release them, the only way to replace the screen is to clip the warranty sticker behind the storage drive in the back, which voids any warranty you may have. If you don't take it to a SONY authorized shop, you will lose your warranty.

The Sony laptops can be quite tricky to work on, I would suggest having someone that is trained replace it because there is a good chance of breaking something while stripping the unit down.

I have a vaio PCG-61313L, i replaced the screen because it was broken, when i test the new screen, i got no backlight, i try to replace it with the old one but got the same problem, backlight was gone....

Hello,

The problem is not with the screen. If you turn on your laptop in a dark room and you put a flashlight on your screen, you will get a very faint display. The problem seems to lying with the inverter.

The inverter is a electrical device which 'backlits' the LCD and gives the display. Without the inverter and the bulbs it powers, the screen would be too faint to be seen.

To test if the inverter is defective, just turn on your laptop in a dark space, then put a flashlight on the screen to see if you have a fainted display. If you can see something, it is the inverter which is defective and should be replaced.

If you are handy, you can also remove the screen cover to see if there is a neon like light which lits up behind the LCD. If you can see the light, it means that the inverter is just working fine and that the is with the LCD itself.

Picture of an inverter.

Replacing the inverter:

1. After removing the screen 'cover', locate a small circuit board (usually below the LCD). Unplug the electrical cables and replace.

In your case, as the LCD has been replaced, check if the cables are well connected to both ends of the inverter. If the cables are well connected, consider replacing the inverter.

I need to replace a broken LCD screen on a sony vaio model PCG-5JBP. Is there any repair manuals that describe how to do this? Also where could I obtain a replacement screen for it?

you would have to look for someone selling it for parts on ebay or craigs list. and you wont fond a manual to tell you how to do this. you will have to take the trim off the monitor and then take the screws out and remove the back light cable andthen insert the new one and reconnect the back light and insert the screws and the trim. around the trim there will be rubber dots pry them off and the screws are under there.
