My loptop "Acer Aspire 3680" screen is damaged.

Try these links... Depending on your OS

These are for the 32 bit versions of Windows OS.

Windows Vista
Windows XP

If you have windows 7 try the Vista Drivers, I have had good luck in doing so.

also, if you would like to search for them and download them yourself go to

http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers and select your model and get any driver you need

could be a bad inverter

Why do you suspect water damage? It could just be a faulty inverter or the screen could be damaged.

you may consider if no display at LCD and VGA monitor both:
1) you may change RAM or change the RAM slot
2) take out the wireless card from MINI PCI slot
3) still black screen that should be any damage of display chips or isolated memory (all BGA chips)on the motherboard
hope it help you troubleshooting

I beleive the chips in the screens outer edge have been damaged so only option is to replace lcd screen or use an external monitor

What I wanted you to clarify was the message that you noted as "something to the effect of 'Beginning of physical damage'", but you only saw it the one time I see on rereading the post, so never mind.

Have you tried doing a factory restore using the recovery media? Try pressing Alt + F10 on booting to get to eRecovery Management.
