          Check Filters and Resistors near the LCD Connector!

          You need a schematic, but you can check if there is a damage the parts have a inscription with (FL, L, P (fuse)).

          You can also heat the Intel Chip up, to check if this is a BGA Problem!

              check 2/3 small transistors near the LCD Connector too.

                  Ended up buying another motherboard . turned out was cheaper than time spent to try fix .
                  Maybe in future will come back to this board

                        Lenovo X240 - motherboard replacement for X250, no image.
                        by andrhouseolly
                        Friends. I beg you to help me in this situation.
                        Lenovo X240 with a video problem. Native Intel drivers are not installed,
                        after installation, a black screen. It works with the standard Microsoft driver.
                        Understanding that there are problems with the video core,
                        I ordered a motherboard from Lenovo X250.
                        The laptop turns on, starts up, there is no image on the internal display.
                        The image is output to the external monitor.

The System is out of warranty as it is but does have the option to have it extended.

                        by Salem Aboshala
                        Dears, this is my first post here and first try to fix my own laptop Apple MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Mid 2015.
                        I have some general electronics troubleshooting experience and still as my hoppy but this is my first laptop trying to fix.

                        History: my laptop backlight stopped working without any reason.
                        Symptoms:
                        I have image on screen using my flashlight.
                        I have fully working laptop with the help of my external SAMSUNG LED tv via HDMI cable.
                        Keyboard backlight still working and can be adjusted normally.

                        Since two days I tried to follow all similar...

                        by zaurus81
                        This chinese all in one computer gives an image when connected to an external vga monitor but only the backlight with integrated monitor (no image). Initially I thought it was an edid problem on the eeprom of the screen but then I saw that the monitor works correctly with another identical motherboard (model th410-d4, read by bios). Unfortunately the motherboard is chinese and has no brand or codes on the pcb. The format seems ITX. Nothing can be found online. The official yashi site provides drivers but not the bios. The electrical diagram is obviously unobtainable
                        The board is equipped...
