    Bad dell LCD screen

    My friend got a nice Dell dimension 3000 with a dell lcd screen. Problem is the power light will turn green like its getting signal and power, but the screen remains blank. They tried different dsub cables too, that did nothing.

    I told them it might be the lamp went bad or that it has bad capacitors.

    IDK the model number or anything like that...they just told me today at school.

    Seems that you have a backlight failure. This requires some skill to dismantle and then check the back light inverter electronics. Sometimes you can be lucky and only have to replace a small fuse.

    So to check it out it must be opened up, if you feel up to it. Then post some photos of the electronics boards. You also need to identify the model number of the Dell monitor if you need help, too many versions around.

      The Dell monitors are a pain to disassemble I had to repair by brothers Dell awhile back an E193Fpc the back cover is almost totally secured to the front with clips.

      To remove it remove the 4 screws securing the stand to the monitor then remove the 4 screws under that securing the back cover to the front.

      Now comes the tricky part look into the vents around the monitor with a flashlight you will see the clips they are all around the sides.

      I released mine with the bottle opener attachment on my swiss army knife.

      Insert the thin opener into the vent opening closest to the clip and put it against the clip now push outward to disengage the clip.

      Do this all around and the cover will come off.

      This is a little like disassembling an Ipod it's tough the first time but you get much better at it.

      And just like the Ipod it goes back together much quicker then when you took it apart .
      Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.

        Dell G3 15 3500 - Battery bug (black screen and flashing keyboard backlight)
        by HTR-Informatique
        Hello,

        YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

        I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

        On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

        I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

        I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

        I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

        Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
        by Ryan.man
        Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

        My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

        This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...
