    Re: Computer help PLEASE

    Have you tried plugging in another moniter into your laptop and then pressing the Func key to switch from the laptop screen to the external moniter?
    I'm guessing you have a bad laptop screen or maybe a bad video card.
    This will tell you which has gone bad. If it is the video card an external screen won't come up either. If it is just the laptop screen then the external moniter will have your normal desktop come up.

    Some laptop companies will let you replace the screen and some won't.
    You'll have to contact the manufacturer to find out.

    your inverter went bad..... its a cheap part ($20) and relatively easy to fix if you have ever been inside of a laptop. when mine went out, all i had to do was take the screen apart, the inverter was held in by 3 screws and plugged into the screen. If you have someone else do it, it will cost you around $100

    Here is a very good how to, and possibly the same one i used when mine bit the shit.

    PS, im pretty sure its the inverter, and basically all it does is power the LIGHT in your LCD screen, so if you have a really well lit area and look at the screen just right as it boots up you should be able to see the boot sequence very faintly.

    Good to hear that you are getting it fixed. Sometimes all it takes is a phone call to India and they will pick it up and fix it for you for free.

    Anyone have an idea why a laptop plug has to be plugged in a certain way before it charges the battery? Bad male connector? Bad female connection?

    Re: Computer help PLEASE

    That is due to a bad connector on the mobo of the laptop. either the inner or outer pin is not connecting with the AC adapter properly. Is this on a Dell? If so, what model?
