Check your display properties from control pannel and see the monitor status, if your external connection is working then this means your internal connection output is turned off may be.

Where do the two wires for the screen go on a gateway laptop model number w340ua?

I'm pretty sure they go on the screen and into the motherboard someplace.

Just look at the old wires that are already on the screen. Normally there is a connection at the top of the screen, but it's more like a cable than a wire. And at the bottom of the screen a wire that plugs into the LCD Inverter.

Now the Wireless or Wifi wires sometimes run from the screen down through the motherboard and into the wireless card. Sometimes the wireless card is on the bottom of the laptop, sometimes under the keyboard.

Also I've seen webcam wires run from the screen area.

Toshiba laptop satellite A75 dim screen

The used inverter maybe faulty. The inverter supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp in the LCD screen, the CCFL lamp provides the backlight.
LCD screens and Inverters are available from this WEB site.www.lcdparts.net

The LCD connector cables are probably not plugged in properly. Since it works with an external display it cant be anything else. The connectors are inside the cable. If you are sure that the connectors are fine then you will probably have to replace the LCD inverter board. Hope that helps, Sai.

Laptop screen very dark

the screen is not a sealed unit... and the backlight and the lcd bulb can both be changed out...
I do it on a daily basis....

It is way cheaper to change out the lcd bulb than it is to replace the lcd display panel... Way CHEAPER

the results are the same
