    lenovo x240 Screen Backlight not present

    Hello people of Badcaps!

    Facing a problem since weeks and I got no idea how to fix this one.

    Laptop: lenovo x240 with NM-A091 motherboard

    We tested the screen baklight and all works. Ribbon cable is good it is clearly some sort of motherboard issue.

    I do not want to fix the board if an alternative solution is possible with a bridge on the screen. (Seen some videos of people bridging LED_PWM and LED_IN) but I don't know how to do that with this particular panel.

    Any advice? Thanks in advance

    P.s: there is a weird mark on the old screen connector. Can it be related?

    Measure voltage and resistance on pin 12/13/23/24/26 of LCD Connector. Be careful while measuring.

      Thanks a lot for replying!

      0v at every pin wich you suggested. The multimeter is not faulty. What do you suggest?

        Its very unlikely. I doubt your measurements. Are u sure about pin 26?? You are supposed to get +19V there. Btw, pin26-29 are together. Pin 13-14 is LCD VCC and it is expected to get 3V there. Check F3 as well.

          Dell G3 15 3500 - Battery bug (black screen and flashing keyboard backlight)
          by HTR-Informatique
          Hello,

          YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

          I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

          On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

          I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

          I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

          I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

          AOC U34G3XM, new monitor, black screen with backlight on, possible shortcircuit during dissassembly
          by turmix
          Hello, I'm working on a new deskmod pc project and have a problem with my monitor, an AOC U34G3XM, well, I may have bricked it.

          The monitor was dismanteled and the separate parts parts integrated in the desk. the screen panel alone is on the upper part, and main board/video board + power board on the back of the desk (not enough place on the cover to fit it)
          At first everything was working smoothly, then I decided to change the connexion between the video board and the screen for a longer one. Still working fine

          During another reassembly, I made a mistake, and...

          Asus G712L No Screen Backlight
          by FallenOne008
          Hi everyone, hope all is well. I have run into a problem where my backlight screen is no longer working.

          The original screen was beginning to show signs of faultiness. I believe it was part of the inverter board that was going bad. The backlight for the screen was still functional at this point. Well one night as I was tinkering with the laptop, my idiot self forgot to disconnect the battery from the motherboard. I attempted to reconnect the EDP cable onto the motherboard, and as you might guess, I saw a nice spark from the cable and the port. Don't worry, I'm still kicking myself...

          by EffiSon
          Hi. Could anyone on the forum help me find the cause of the problem?
          The board is LA-B111P Rev:1A comes from Lenovo Y50-70.

          I have a identified the damaged R205 resistor, and connect a jump wire over it So it restores the backlight but causing strange problems

          1. With Battery ONLY plugged in laptop works fine
          2 .With Charger ONLY plugged in laptop works fine as well

          3. Connecting both battery and charger at the same time shows a strange flickering screen. The flickering is not constant, it is completely random (and I think it depends on the load

          Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Gen 10 - Flickering Screen
          by Ado02
          Hello everyone,

          We recently replaced the OLED screen on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Gen 10. After about a month, the replacement screen began to flicker. Initially, updating the IntelĀ® IrisĀ® Xe graphics driver resolved the issue for about a week. However, when the problem recurred, updating the driver again had no effect.

          The flickering only occurs once the system reaches the Windows login screen. Interestingly, if we disable the Intel GPU driver or connect the laptop to an external monitor, the flickering stops. We have tried installing two different replacement screens,...
