    Lenovo U330P backlight problem

    Hi,

    Mobo Quanta LZ5. Screen backlight stays on at bios, but when booting to any operating system, when panel switches to higher resolution, backlight turns off.

    Still can see picture with flashlight and everything else works normally. Backlight voltage from mobo seems low, only ~8 volts. Is this correct?

    Laptop was worked on by another shop, they tested display panel in another computer and it was OK, so issue is with motherboard.

    Schematics from backlight voltage producing area would be nice...

      Sounds like a driver issue. Did you try on a Linux LiveUSB operating system?

          Yes, tried live linux. Backlight turns off soon after booting when resolution changes. Not a driver issue.

              Lid switch is OK.

              When changing resolution from OS desktop, backlight briefly flashes once, but never stays on.

                      Yes, already have it.

                      Removed Q1, no change. At least LCD_BK_OFF signal is not the cause. Will continue tomorrow with remaining PANEL_BKEN and DISPON signals.

                          Lenovo E15 Gen 2 GE4B0 GE5B0 NM-D011 Rev 1.0 sometimes not opening problem
                          by s_specialist
                          Recently, I have started to encounter a problem with Lenovo E15 Gen 2 models not opening. When you try to open the device, it gives a warning sound and does not display an image, when you apply light pressure on the keyboard, the image appears and works for a while, when you turn it off and on, the same thing happens again. Bios was tried, RAM slots were cleaned and soldered to the legs, the problem still persists. There seems to be a problem with the onboard processors, but since Lenovos glue the processor firmly from the sides, the paths are very damaged when removing it. Has anyone encountered...

                          Lenovo T580 - LCD Panel problem - error 0288
                          by perzyk23
                          Good morning,
                          I have a problem with Lenovo T580, which after error code 0288 suggests a problem with the display. I checked the display and it works on another laptop. I replaced the display cable with a new one. I programmed another BIOS (downloaded from this forum) and I still have the problem of a dead display - there is an image via HDMI, and the system does not detect the built-in LCD at all. The problem appears to be hardware. What can I check to confirm or disprove this? I found many threads on the Internet related to this problem 0288, but without specific solutions. Please advise....

                          Hi, my laptop suddenly shut down while it was running. When I try to turn it back on, the screen stays black and it emits a melodic beep.

                          I used Lenovo's SmartBeep decoder and it returned error 0284:
                          "TCG-compliant functionality-related error (possibly BIOS code validation failure)"



                          I then tried to enter crisis BIOS recovery mode by pressing Fn + R at boot. The melodic error code changes, but nothing else happens regardless of whether a USB is inserted. I receive another...
