Dell inspiron laptop screen issue

Computer boots and I see the screen for a few seconds before it fades out and is gone completely. I can hook up to another monitor and see things fine and I can use the F8 to toggle here, there, both, which seems to work, except of course for the black screen on my laptop. I booted with the computer plugged in and not simply on battery power and got a screen that did not "go black" until I pull the plug to work off battery power. Sounds like a power problem? Or a screen problem? or what ever, how do I fix it?

    Okay, it is the right power supply. Sounds like a power problem to you, too, then? I thought it could be a power issue when I watched it fade away. And a laptop that has to be plugged in kind of defeats the portability thing. Is the lcd inverter something I can replace? Given that I have never opened a laptop before...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I am having a bit of a problem with it being anything more than the screen since I bought the big guy extra large battery and it lasts forever and ever. Here is a thought. Recenty, like a day before this began, I did a presentation using someone else's projector. I still feel like I am toggling through the F8, but could that be a factor in any way that changes your thoughts?

    I just lost my display on the year old 710m laptop but still have the external video capabilities. I cycled thru F8's but no help. Unplugged large battery, rebooted, still no screen.



    Is it likely the display failed?

Hi,

First, are you sure you have the correct power supply?

Also, the lcd inverter could be going bad, consequently needing more power than it can get off the battery.

Hope this helps,

Good luck

    Hi,



    Yes changing the inverter isn't too tough. You can find the service manual here:



    http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/sy...



     



    I really wish I could have a look at this machine; it's just not that old, and tho the widescreen laptops seem to have inverter problems more than the older lcds, it just doesn't feel right. To bad you're not in Oklahoma, I'd take a peek at it for you.



    Good luck.



    Let me know how it works out.

That is just a video driver problem, go to support.dell.com and download the latest driver for your video card and install - should fix this problem for you.

Hi lewis haywar,

Try to replace the LCD inverter in your laptop. Most common issues on LCD are due to failing LCD inverter. It fails more often than LCD cable or LCD backlight does.

Please let me know if this solution helped to resolve your issue.

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup
Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart

Dell inspiron 1525 shows black screen after dell logo?
The computer cant find a bootable device. Either your boot sector on your Hard drive is gone/damaged (most likely a virus) or the Hard drive failed. Start with booting with your windows disk and try to do a repair installation.

If you get the boot image on your screen then you screen is working correctly unless there's something that you not explaining. You can try an ext. monitor if you think it is something related to your LCD screen not woring during boot up. If the ext monitor not showing your laptop to boot then you have problem with your OS and may need to get it repaired or restored.

My screen on my dell inspiron 1520 has gone black
You've lost your desktop display.
The first thing I would do is to start the computer in safe mode. Once there, do a system restore back to the time that it worked.
I would also, just to be safe, do your disk management tasks like checking your hard drive for errors and running defrag.

Getting a white screen at start up on a Dell Inspiron E1505. If I let it sit it will flicker and come back on after about 15-30 min and will not return to white screen. Is it time to replace the lcd?
Try system recover.
if it happens the second you boot your computer, is the screen dark but the back light is just on, or is it that the screen is completely white?

Inspiron 1200 Dead Screen
At first glance, I'd say "bad video/motherboard" ...however, when you hook up an external monitor, you also need to first switch into "external LCD" mode. On the Dell laptop, hit FN and F8 I believe to switch between LCD and external. It will go through several modes...LCD only, external only, neither, and both. Keep switching until you see something on the external.

If you never see output on the external, you've got a video/motherboard problem. If under warranty, contact Dell and place a support call.

If not under warranty, you're looking at anywhere from $200-$400 for a new motherboard, plus labor for someone to install it.

Hope this helps - remember to rate :)

The problem with my Inspiron is The screen.
Can you hook up an external monitor to it and see it just fine there? If so, then one of two possibilities: Either the LCD inverter is bad, or the screen itself is bad. Oh, it could be just a loose wire from the screen to the motherboard also.

Dell Inspiron B130 wont boot
First remove the battery from the PC! Leave it off for a short period of time! about 2min. This allows the computer to erase anything in temporary memory. Place the battery back onto th PC and try to boot it up. The other thing you can do is boot the pc up with just the power cord in place. See if it boots just from the power cord. Sometime the batteries from dell causes the whole entire PC to become unresponsive.
