How do i print screen on an advent laptop - Advent Netbook

Have you added the printer to the Laptop? Wired or Wireless? This should get you started: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/setup-printer-windows-8/

If the display isn't going full screen, on that 15.4 inch TFT LCD screen, the problem is the screen Inverter, or LCD screen itself.

90 PERCENT OF THE TIME the fault is the screen Inverter.
It isn't a simple screen resolution setting that needs to be changed.

Primer:

An LCD screen does not produce light by itself,

It needs an additional light source.
The additional light source is a Backlight.

A Backlight can be a CCFL, or a series of LED's.
The Advent 7111 Notebook PC uses One CCFL,

A CCFL is a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp.
Similar to Fluorescent lighting used in homes, and businesses, but on a MUCH smaller scale.

(Average size is 2mm Thick. Length is almost as long, as the LCD screen is in height. 2mm is close to 1/16th of an Inch )

A screen Inverter is used to convert the power from the laptop, for the Backlight, and LCD screen.

Primer over.

I don't have access to a Service Manual, for the Advent 7111 Notebook PC. I haven't had one come to my shop for repair.

I DO have years of experience at repairing laptops, and I see the Advent 7111 is just a basic laptop, as I HAVE repaired over the years.

If you wish, I can guide you step by step, in replacing the screen Inverter.

(MANY people go out, and buy an LCD screen, when the problem is a much less expensive screen Inverter. Afterwards they buy the screen Inverter. Too bad they didn't come here first)

[ The Advent 7111 Notebook PC is just a re-badged Quanta TW3M.
According to the source, you should see TW3M on the bottom of the laptop.

The LCD screen for the Advent 7102 does not produce light. It needs an additional light source.
A Backlight is the additional light source.

A Backlight is a CCFL.
Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp
Similar to Fluorescent lighting used in homes, and businesses, but on a MUCH smaller scale.

An Inverter (Screen Inverter) converts electricity from the laptop, for the LCD screen, and the Backlight.

90 PERCENT OF THE TIME the fault is the Inverter.


The Inverter is a small circuit board located behind the Display Bezel, and under the LCD screen.

[ The Display Bezel is the thin plastic frame in front of the LCD screen. Resembles a picture frame ]

The screen for your laptop is LED type, so no inverter involved. You need to buy a replacement for example here:

http://www.laptop-lcd-screen.co.uk/laptopparts/ADVENT-4211B-10.1-LAPTOP-SCREEN_851.asp

sounds like the light bulb inside the LCD screen broke its hair thin and very fragile will have to replace screen could be more expansive than a new laptop.

Here is the link to download your 7111 drivers

Hope this helps!

Angle the screen to the light. If you can see a faint screen image then it's probable that the backlight's inverter has either failed, it's cable has become damaged or the backlight has failed. Both of these can be tricky to replace unless you have the right tools, but can be done provided you can get a spare. Usually it's a tech job.

If the image is not there then it's either the screen itself, the graphics chip or, more likely, the ribbon cable that connects the screen to the motherboard.

You can rule out the graphics chip by plugging the laptop into a monitor.

Of course, the ultimate problem is that you've bought an Advent laptop! And most techs agree that Advent produce the worst laptops in the world. :(
