    Lenovo s400 - no video on lcd only backlight, on external is ok

    Hello.
    Have this Lenovo s400 that have no video on lcd only backlight. on external is everything ok. i try to measure voltage pins and only voltage that looks off is +LCDVDD_CONN which is 0.4V. when i remove L29 i have 3,12V on first pin and 0.4 on second pin.
    i have board rev. 1.0 and schematic is rev 0.1

    any hints?

    What's the resistance to ground on +LCDVDD_CONN with and without LCD connected? And resistance across L29?

        i think you need to test a good panel. my opinion need to replace. respect to you my friend.

        it is good to repair for experience.
        well maybe the TCon. maybe some capacitor near or filter caps have leak.

        wait. need to check also the IC. i dont know what brand. can you send a picture here. to identify

          removed both capacitors after coil L29 but nothing changed

          replaced panel and cable, but still the same

                  remove the LVDS cable from the motherboard connector, start the laptop and measure the voltages on the plug, if ok the problem is the cable or display ...

                    No video when trying to unlock Lenovo T420
                    by aaroncm
                    Hi guys,

                    Today I pulled 5 Lenovo T420 laptops out of a bin at the rubbish tip, and they're old school laptops and they're all locked with a supervisor password.

                    In the past I've unlocked similar Lenovo laptops, often I used the trick of shorting a few pins together on the chip on boot to get into the GUI and overwrite the config but it doesn't look like that is working with these laptops. I guess Lenovo fixed that trick? I have unlocked some other HP laptops by reading the chip, running a patch and re-writing back.

                    But I can't work out these T420...

                    Lenovo G565 Laptop onboard LCD Display does not turn on.
                    Only works with external Monitor.
                    I am trying to verify that the LCD signals from the motherboard are ok.
                    The LCD was working, but over time happened to not turn on more frequently.
                    Now dead.
                    Possibly the cable from MB to LCD is broken somewhere.

                    I just wonder how it is detected if external or internal monitor shall be activated ?

                    I found the following schematic on the net:

                    Hi Guys,

                    LENOVO IDEAPAD FLEX 5 - 14ITL05
                    BIOS VERSION - FXCN24WW

                    SERIAL NUMBER - R9130MDP
                    CPU - i7-1165G7

                    This laptop powers on but shows nothing on the internal display.
                    However, if I attach an external display it works fine.

                    Observations: When I shut down the laptop from windows,
                    the fan remains spinning until I close the lid. If I leave the lid open
                    the laptop will restart on it's own although I select shut down from windows.
                    Also, when I check the voltage on the...

                    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.
                    I ordered another motherboard from Lenovo X250.
                    The laptop turns on, starts up, there is no image on the internal display.
