    Toshiba L35-S2171 LCD Backlight problem

    my problem with this laptop is that it shows the backlight just with a blink then totally off upon power up. tried already replacing the inverter and LCD but it doesn't cure the problem. if i press the LCD standby switch the backlight will just also blink... also if some one could provide a schematic is very much appreciated. thanks....

      for schematic, need the motherboard code. Can you see image on the screen, without bl ? if yes, i think your on/off signal is missing which comes from EC. trace it, you'll find the fault, or maybe you dont have +19v.

        Check voltages in inverter like +19v Power +3.3V Enable and Dim 1.5V-3V. If voltages present inverter is faulty or the backlight is worn out, try another backlight tube?
        If 19v is there but no enable or no dim backlight will not come. Lets say you have enable but dim signal is missing, you can just solder a jump wire or resistor from the 3.3v to the dim. If enable missing, maybe broken trace on motherboard, you can also get the voltage from a different point of the motherboard, anywhere where the 3.3v comes on after you press the power button.

          did you replace both inverter and lcd panel at the same time?

            Did you try replace the screen cable matey?

            Another thing - though I could be grasping at straws here - the flickering thing. Maybe it's detecting something plugged into the VGA port? Have you tried setting the BIOS not to automatically use VGA?

              Asus GA402RK keyboard and kb backlight problem
              by Dobrowol
              Hi. I have a problem with Asus ROG GA402RK. The keyboard suddenly stopped working along with the kb backlight. I replaced the keyboard and the ITE KBC chip and the problem is still the same. I don't see any passive elements that look damaged. Does anyone have an idea?

              panasonic TX-P50V10E 6 blink led problem
              by Vebririon
              Hi everyone,

              I'm new here and trying to repair my Panasonic TX-P50V10E plasma TV, which is currently showing the 6 red blink error code.

              Just for context: I'm used to building PCs and installing modchips in old consoles, but this is my first time trying to fix a TV. I'm French, and while my English is okay, I'm using ChatGPT to help translate and clarify my messages as much as possible — so please forgive any odd phrasing.

              I'm also not very experienced with using a multimeter, but I'm very motivated and ready to follow instructions carefully and report...

              LG M2362DP Backlight problem
              by ononos
              hello everyone!
              As the title states i am an owner of an LG flatron M2362DP 23 inch monitor Tv. Since i currently use it as a tv i'm posting the problem on the "troubleshooting tvs and video sources" section.
              I'm from Greece so English isn't my native language, so please forgive me for any mistakes i make. I have basic knowledge in electronics, and although i have a degree, many things have changed since i finished a 2 year coarse (over 30 years ago). Occasionally i repair easy stuff, mostly things that break at home like appliances.

              So i decided to try to...

              Samsung UE32D4010 Backlight problem, led ok
              by fanaticgames
              hello I have a backlight problem on this TV, if I unplug the cn201 cable the backlight works perfectly and the voltages are 13v if I connect the cn201 cable the backlight goes off and the voltage drops to 12v, I assume it's a motherboard problem, the question is has anyone had a similar problem? I want to understand if the motherboard is repairable or it's not worth wasting time...

              Toshiba Qosmio X755 Charging problem
              by delphi_firebird
              Hello Guys,

              I received Toshiba Qosmio X755 that has a charging problem and I'm stuck trying to figure out the problem.

              - When battery is unplugged i works without any problem.
              - When I plug in the battery after plugging in the charger, it works correctly and the battery is charging.
              - When I plug in the charger after inserting the battery, it stops working. ( voltage dropped and consumed 8A, reaching the maximum capacity of my bench power supply for 5 seconds, and stop working after )

              Can you help me diagnose the problem? I have attached...
