Re: Alienware m17x r4 snowy screen..
What is the code on that board? Alienware is dell pretty much. LA-xxxx?
This sounds like the LVDS translator/Controller/converter IC... not sure on the exact desc or name.... Do you have a Schematic?
EDIT: I think this schematic is the right one, attached below.
EDIT2: #_# ah I see that is indeed the chip(page28) mentioned from the other forum... anyways if you have another like that swap it should work just fine.Attached FilesLast edited by MJ-meo-dmt; 11-08-2018, 04:48 AM.while alive { live(toFullest=true) }Comment

Re: Alienware m17x r4 snowy screen..
I had a similar problem on an Asus laptop. But the customer did not give me time to fix it properly. Finally, I discovered that if uninstall Both the ATI and Intel Graphics drivers, the snow will disappears. So the customer was glad of this quick fix.
there is a Graphics option in Bios. change it from switchable to something else. It may be fixed this way.
Then, you can try replacing the LVDS multiplexer IC. It can be desoldered from any mainboard. I hope it is not faulty.Last edited by caspian; 11-08-2018, 05:26 AM.Comment

by Ryan.manHello 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... -

by smic717394Hi,
I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD.

After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on... -

by ChrissygizmoHello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same... - Loading...
