My Dell D610 Display started to go bad - it was purplish when starting up, then one day it blacked out. I was able to revive the display for a while by pressing the lid-close switch, but then finally it became unusable.
I removed the inverter and tested it in an older D600 display and it worked fine. I pulled the D600 inverter and put it in the D610, and my display is usable, but something is still wrong with it. There's a very high pitched sound coming from the inverter. I also still get the purple tinge for a couple of seconds when it first turns on.
So I'm suspecting that the inverter isn't the root cause, and that if I leave things as they are, I'm going to be replacing inverters every few weeks/months.
Could the CCFLs cause this problem some how? I thought if the CCFL failed, the display wouldn't light up at all.
If it's not the CCFL, then could the power to the inverter be the problem, or something else?
