Windows device manager recognizes the graphics card. latest drivers are installed. running Windows 7.
LCD backlight turns on, however, the screen constantly stays an offwhite colour.
when i connect the laptop to a VGA monitor or to a TV through S-video, it connects and everything is displayed perfectly on the external screen. the laptop LCD is still lit up a offwhite colour.
new screen/inverter/ backlight installed. NEW screen still black, but visible with flashlight. Went ahead and got ANOTHER inverter off eBay and tried that - screen still black. Haven't ever replaced a backlight, and the operation looks delicate (and expensive to HAVE done) ...

I thought.
Now, I get the slowdowns again, albeit not that severe. Now, when I open hwmonitor it only shows my CPU, HDD and ACHP. The GPUs temp won't show up.
I installed ntune, nada, same thing. What could be the problem, is the temperature measuring thingy broken I'm kind of worried that my 8400m gs is dying on me since it was a pos to begin with but I really dont feel like sending in my laptop.
when my xps m1530 is turned ON nothing displayed on display some times. i have to turn off and turn on a number of times to get it right. it happens often now. what is the reason??GPU issue?? LCD issue??
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen i bought N7110 when i pressed the fn + sound up/down button(f11/f12) a little box would come up showing me what my current sound level is and dissapear after 3 secs or so. But doesn't happen anymore. The buttons still change the sound but the box doesn't show up. This happens with all of the fn functions like f2(wireless settings), mute button, f4 f5 (brightness), f3(touchpad on off). They all work but they dont show up. So if i want to close bluetooth i need to do it blindly by pressing f2 + fn a few times to finally get it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI had a quick look at Disk Management on my new Vostro 5470, and there are not less than 7 partitions displayed over there.
The laptop has a SSD of 128GB installed. I know that GPT hard drives require several partitions (to be specific, I know only about ESP, MSR and data partitions only) - but 7? My data partition has only 99GB available. That surely isn't a lot.
I know that some sort of Intel recovery is installed, and I know that the Dell diagnostics is installed somewhere too.

I am assuming I have a faulty LCD Screen and/or cable but want to be sure of this before spending the money as this laptop is no longer under warranty.
I have a inspiron 1521 that i have been having problems with. It's an older laptop.
When i turn on the power, nothing is displayed on the screen. When i hold fn+power I get 2 flashing lights and one solid. The num lock and cap lock flash. I don't really know what this means. I have also done a BIST and the laptop seems to pass this just fine. (Different colors flash on the screen). I have tried removing ram 1 at a time but it always blinks the same lights. Could this be a problem with the motherboard?
My son has a Dell Inspiron 1545 ... The problem with its is, that it receives power into the unit but nothing is displayed onto the screen and therefore, nothing shows or happens. I know that the unit is receiving power due to the fact that I can open the Disk Drive. I have attempted the flea start without any success.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Latitude D800 that will not power on. When the power button is pushed the green power indicator light comes on, the CDROM spins for a moment, but then nothing happens, there is no BIOS information displayed, no power on self test, no Dell logo. It just sits there with the green power light on.I have tried removing the power & battery then pressing the power button for 10 seconds (actually, I have tried as long as 60 seconds). I have tried to turn on with the power connected but not the battery. I have tried removing the connector cable for the power button and the connector cable for the display and then reseating them.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with the back light of my laptop. I have a Studio 15 that I bought around 1.5 years ago.
I don't know why the back light randomly stops working. When it happens I turn off the screen and turn it on again and it works fine. Any clues on what is happening?
What are the symptoms when your LCD backlight craps out? The screen on my i9300 is black but I can see images, although it is very very dark, like the lcd is working but it's not lighting up. Also when the lcd crapped out, there was a burning smell.
If I do need a new LCD, would it be worth it to replace? My laptop runs great and I'd love to keep using it.
I was perusing my Dell.com account for my laptop and looking at the build specs (Studio 1537), and noticed something that confused me a bit:
1J656HLiquid Crystal Display 15.4WXGA, Light Emitting Diode True Life, 0-2BD, Lg Philips Lcd
and
1M135CBezel, Cold Cathode FluorescentLamp, Camera, HEPURN .....
How do I disable (and keep disabled) the backlight on my XPS 13? I can use fn+f6 to turn it off, but it ends up turning itself back on when re-logging in or coming back from hibernating, etc. Running Windows 8.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI got my E6400 last week and I found that everything all right except the color of LED screen, it's awful.
The color of the screen is pale, i had tried to calibrated the graphic settings but it doesn't improve too much.
Also, i saw some posts here said that the LG screen is better than the Samsung screen, but I can't agree with that because my screen is LG.
Is it normal for LED backlight screen that the color is more pale than the CCFL backlight screen or just the screen of mine had some problems?
I have an issue with my XPS M1730. Intermittanly the screen will go black during use.
It is clearly the backlight going out as on very close inspection i can make out contrast of light and dark areas. Plugging in a secondary screen on duel duplicate mod works fine, but laptop remains black.
The laptop screen will suddenly come back on at random, even if left in the corner with no-one using it.
The backlight failure also happens at bootup alot. I found also that leaving the laptop overnight (when backlight failed to come on) that it will not usually come back on, but within minutes of pluggin in the secondary display it will suddenly light up and work ok. It will continue to work till put to sleep/ closed down...........................
I happen to have two M4400's on me, both have the RGB-LED. Figured I'd take some pictures to compare the bleed on both backlight's.
The one on the left was delivered this week and the one on the right was delivered two months ago.
Curious, other CCFL or RGB-LED M4400 owners, do you find your bleed patterns similar?
I have a Dell XPS M1330 and have tried to find a solution for a screen that just doesn't want to stay at it's brightest setting.
I have adjusted all Battery profiles (including the "on battery" setting) and the screen seems to adjust to lowest background light settings every time I close the lid to my laptop.
I have adjusted all known settings for this, and still no resolution to the problem! Every time I close the lid to my laptop, windows makes a dis-connect sound (notification), you know, the sound it makes when you dis-connect a thumb drive or other USB connection.
I have a Dell 17" laptop and the screen shows this blueish green vertical on startup.
After a few minutes of warming up the line goes away and the screen looks normal. The line reappears on reboot though.
Looks like this is a problem with the backlight/inverter. The laptop is almost 4 years old, but I would like to keep it going a little while longer
my work pc is a Dell inspiron 1520. it is mounted on Ram stand in my tow truck. the problem i am having is sometimes now when im driving down a bumpy road the backlight goes out.
to get it back on i either have to close the lid and open it, or shut it down and reboot.
i was thinking its the switch that tells the mother board that the lid is closed when its not. Is there any way to disable that switch so the backlight is on permantly
I will be calling Dell tomorrow to get my keyboard replaced due to the Numlock light not working.
My current keyboard has not got a backlight would it be possible to get a replacement keyboard with a blacklight?
I recently had my laptop apart to put different thermal paste on the cpu, but now my backlighting isnt working for the keyboard. does that little ribbon cable control that? Its kinda hard to get it to stay attached. If not then is this a normal thing for these keyboard lights to go bad?
