KarateEd Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 The LCD screen on my Dell laptop no longer illuminates, though it is readable if I tilt the screen at the right angle and stand up to type (as I am doing at this moment). I talked with Dell tech support and they confirmed my suspicion that the LCD is kaput and needs to be replaced How much does a repair like this cost? Is it a possible DIY repair (I know my way around electronics fairly well) or is time to get a new computer and use this one as a doorstop?Any help is appreciated.Ed Ed
KarateEd Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 Took my laptop to a local repair shop and they discovered that the power inverter for the little fluorescent bulb that back-lights the screen was broken. They fixed it for about $130. Now I am back in business! Ed Ed
