Try tightening all the screws around the hinge area, if that is not the problem I am sure the actual hinges can be replaced for a fairly reasonable amount.

Hello,

It is definitely possible you have a damaged screen component. At this point I would recommend taking it to a service center or call them and have it shipped for repair. You may even have a local computer repair shop that could help you out and maybe save some money :)

The problem has been narrowed down by connecting it to the TV. We know the laptop works fine otherwise except for the screen.

Regard,

May monitor dosnt display..

You will need to attach an external screen from your pc to check that your laptop is working, if it is then your laptop display may just be faulty and the screen connector loose, you will need to take the front frame off your screen to check.
If the display is broken, check ebay. expect to pay about £80

Lcd can not display

You may need a new laptop screen or there could be just a loose connection. The backlight could also need replacing.

I would take it into a repair shop and see what they suggest. New screens and backlights can be found on ebay and most repair shops will offer discount if you supply the new parts

I have a Dell laptop D505. The laptop powers up but the screen display is very dim. I can't see the image on the monitor. I've tried to manually increase the color/brightness button and nothing changes. ...

Sounds like your inverter or your backlight is failing. The inverter is an easy repair, the backlight can be replaced but it involves taking the LCD panel apart, The backlight comes installed on new screens. I can include a service manual below and possibly a generic guide to backlight replacement....

172FPb suddenly went dark. shows display very briefly at startup and when powered on and off. Do you think a monitor or video card issue?

That happen when the display detects a failure and goes off, likely a short circuit. It is a monitor issue. Looks like you are one of hundreds unfortunates clients that got a broken inverter driver. Here are instructions how to fix it:

I do not recommend you to follow the steps there provided if you don't have any experience about computer repair.

Wont charge

The most common cause of this is the input jack being broken off of the mother board. There is a fair amount of stress on the jack which is surface mounted onto the motherboard. It is common for the connection to break off. This can be fixed easily by anyone that works on surface mounted equipment. Please note that the laptop will need to be dis-assembled to gain access to the area that needs repair. This is a fairly involved process and should not be attempted by someone not familiar with laptops. Expect to pay around $100 for this repair. No parts should be required.

LCD Monitor slightly flickring. Dell E153FPT

Sounds like your backlights are going to fail soon. The flickering you see is most likely a problem with the internal components of the LCD monitor itself. Several possible causes exist for such symptoms. These include capacitor failure, bad solder joints, loose CCFL connection or faulty sheilding of the CCFL HV wires, CCFL dying, loose LCD connection, etc.

I can help you repair this problem by providing you with disassembly instructions and troubleshooting to isolate the issue. From there I will tell you how to DIY, or you can mail the faulty board to me for repair. I actually have spare parts for this monitor on hand and will ship it as soon as your old one arrives at my location. Fast turnaround!

I charge a flat rate fee of $40 for my repair service. That includes return postage. You pay for shipping to me.

I will also accept your entire monitor as a trade in towards the purchase of anothor. I have many working LCD's on hand. Prices for Grade A name brand units (Dell. HP, etc) are as follows:
15" - $50
17" - $70
19" - $90

Trade in credit for your old one:
15" - $10
17" - $20
19" - $30

If you pay the shipping on your trade in LCD, I will pay for the shipping of your new one back to you. Otherwise buyer pays shipping cost for any purchased units,

Please vivit my web site, and feel free to call or email me with questions.

Dead Display

Have you Pressed the Fn + Monitor key to switch monitor modes?
Can you see any picture at all on the notebook screen - even if very faint? If so then screen backlight has gone - this could be repaired but would cost a bit for the spares (it is high voltage so don't try it yourself!).
Cable to screen may have come loose if it is completely dead/black. You could try to take it apart and reseat the cable into its socket (but quite tricky to do).
