How do u remove lcd inverter for dell vostro 1000

It is the screen Inverter, or the LCD screen itself.

Screen Inverter: A small circuit board located behind the Display Bezel, and mounted towards the bottom of the LCD screen,

The yellowish long object, at the bottom, is the screen Inverter.

Here is another look at it,

Need guidance in replacing the screen Inverter, post in a Comment.

(Just a basic guide using a Vostro 1014/1015 Notebook PC. Not yours, but good for basic guidance. This is replacing the LCD screen,

[ Primer:
An LCD screen cannot produce light by itself,

( Click on the small window with the monitor in it )

It needs an additional light source. A Backlight is the additional light source.
A Backlight can be a CCFL, (or more than one), or a series of LED's used as lights.

The Dell Vostro a860 Notebook PC uses one CCFL, for a Backlight, OR there are Vostro a860's that use LED lights.
(If you replace the LCD screen, make sure FIRST of what type of Backlighting it uses)

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

[Average thickness of a CCFL is 2mm. That is a little larger than 1/16th of an Inch.
Average length is almost as long, as the LCD screen is in height ]

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

Most of the time the fault is the screen Inverter.

The Vostro a860 Notebook PC's, that uses LED's as a Backlight, MAY also use a screen Inverter.

Primer over.

For your problem it could be the screen Inverter, but I lean more towards the LCD screen itself, is the problem.

How to test a screen Inverter? Requires a very sensitive multimeter.
Read; Expensive,

http://www.fonerbooks.com/test.htm

For a layman who does not have access to a sensitive multimeter, the method is to just replace the screen Inverter, and see if it is the problem.
'Parts changing', I know, but if you do not have the proper equipment to test with?

Screen Inverter replaced, and problem still persists, replace the LCD screen,

if laptop is still running with a broken LCD screen , it id possible to use an external monitor, if laptop totally died or broken, not possible to use with external monitor.

older vostros usually have a broken dc jack right where the power connector plugs in. otherwise try another ac adapter and also try removing and replacing the battery underneath.

Sounds like your LCD inverter has gone out.Sounds like you may need to replace it.

Mark, you have nothing with your hardware, just check your Lcd connections, and try again. If it didn't work, you must replace the Lcd once more. Hope it works for you.

You cannot replace the backlight. It is incorporated into the lcd panel and not available as a separate part. The inverter board is very easy to replace. It is located right behind the dell logo at the bottom centre of the display panel. Remove the screws on the front of the lcd bezel (under the rubber pads) and the inverter board is right there. Call 1-800-www-dell or look on ebay. Hope it's only the inverter board, as a new lcd panel is $350+. If the display is dead you can still use the laptop by connecting an external monitor to it.

Hope this helps!....let me know how you make out.

The first thing I would suggest is to tighten the LCD hinge screws on the bottom and back corners of the chassis. The LCD grounds through the hinge and if the screws work loose, then there isn't sufficient contact.
If that fails, the inverter or the LCD will likely need replacement.

Check the rubber connector of the LCD if it's loose, you can do this by pressing at both the edges on the joint of the LCD and if the line dissapears then it's loose, you just have to have it tighten up. Hope this helps.

Are you good with a screwdriver? Here's a step by step procedure for replacing the LCD screen on a Dell 1500.

Is fairly easy, but be extremely careful of the ribbon cables, they break very easily!
Good Luck!
