HP Omnibook XE3 - LCD TFT issue

[JEWilson]

Quick Q

This laptop has a Samsung LT141X7-124 panel
Traced a fault to a bad power cable to inverter - replaced

Now have video

However, some pixels are coloured red on fills of screen artefacts
such as bold lettering (some pixels red instead of correct colour)
Grass on the screen background with the Suse 9.2 Live CD has
some parts coloured red.

Hmmm.

What does this point to?
Failed panel?

I will try to reseat the signal cable that came with the panel.
As it happens, I do have another of these cables in hand also.

Any advice, insight appreciated

Thx

Re: HP Omnibook XE3 - LCD TFT issue

This was a simple fix in the end.

I reseated the panel signal cable that came with the LCD.
I removed and replaced twice to wipe the contacts.

The problem with red pixel ghosting and artefacts persisted.
Replaced the panel signal cable with another.
This fixed the issue.

Unsure as to what is wrong with the faulty signal cable (yet).

However, the replacement signal cable definetly has a better
phy. connection at the panel end than the faulty one.

When I get time, I will inspect the faulty cable to determine fault.
