    HP G62 laptop screen backlight aways on

    Hello, a got a non working hp g62 laptop with problematic video graphic chip. Fixed for testing by reheating the video chip. It is working now, but after shutdown the backlights stays on. Also if the screen sleeps.on first plug the screen is off, then when i power on the computer, its on. And if i power off, it shuts down and stop, but the screen stays shining white.. also, changing brightness not working.
    I measured the backlight on signal on the board of the led screen, and its 3,3v when the computer is on, and 0 when off. Seems to that the led driver just pass voltage to the strings no matter what.. i looked for datasheet but no luck..
    So any ideas are wellcome

          What you mean by lcdvdd? 19v is present all the time. I have a vcc test point near the connector of the screen board, it goes 3.3 when on, 0 when off. Just measured the led strip voltage on vled test point, it is 19v all the time, or 19 and something, just like the voltage of the main 19v rail on the laptop.

              It's normal for the display to get 19v from the main power rail to run the backlight. There is an inverter / booster built onto the control board of the display. There is a variable voltage signal that comes from the main board to tell the screen how bright it should be. My thought is that the problem is on the display itself and you can open it up a bit and find the control voltage. Having a spare screen right now would help you.
              These HP G62 notebooks suffer from the same AMD GPU failures that affected the 2011 Macs. They are not repairable. You can heat them up and they will last from a few weeks to a few months, but then they will die. Don't waste too much money on this model.

                  10x for the reply. i am doing this just for the experience.

                  i already opened the display, the attached pictures are from the control board. i guess there is a problem with the led driver chip on the picture, but i cant find datasheet

                      I don't know if you ever finished troubleshooting this or not.
                      Too bad you are so far away. I would give you a G62 screen for free.

                          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...

                          Hello everyone !

                          My name is Chris, I am a 30 years old embedded software developer working in the automotive industry. I am really passionate about learning new skills and repairing/crafting stuff. I came around this forum last week with the goal of repairing my faulty gaming laptop, indeed, I was video editing on it when suddenly a black screen popped and never disappeared I bought some stuff to try to repair it and learn as many things as possible about computer repairs but nothing worked so far. When the black screen appeared, my legion 5 pro was connected to my external monitor...

                          Lenovo Y50-70 - LA-B111P Rev:1A Flickering laptop screen after shorten the R205 resistor/ backlight restoration ?
                          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

                          laptop hp g72 b52sf screen problems
                          by jean luc ferre
                          Hello,
                          on this laptop hp g72 b52sf i have screen problems as you can see with the photo joined in attachments.
                          the used graphic card is "intel hd graphics" and the id of the integrated screen is : "monitor/SEC3354".
                          i verified the driver of the péripherals and they are ok. i verified the definition and settings of the graphic card and of the screen : definition 1600x900 and refreshment frequency :60hz. (they are the sames for the graphic card and the screen).
                          i don't understand the reasons of the white stripe at the bottom of the screen below the task...

                          HP Probook 450 G8 Boardview+Schematics - screen backlight issue
                          by trepachka
                          I am just wondering if anyone has boardview+schematics for HP Probook 450 G8.

                          Computer is missing screen backlight. The backlight fuse must be kaput. I know the fuse is located on the motherboard because we tried a different working screen and it, too is missing backlight.

                          Perhaps, if the boardview+schematics are not available, someone can point out where the screen backlight fuse is located. Thanks.
