Problems of backlight T400

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forums, and I want to you guys for help.  I have a t400 I ordered probably around August 2009, and he had problems with backlight since November of the same year.  As I was busy on an exceptional basis and am exceptionally lazy, I never move to use the warranty, so I was stuck with a laptop with backlight sorta worked, but it's strange.  In fact, I would say that the problem is almost identical to those described in this thread, and more precisely on this photo (not posted by me, but me has the same appearance).

Basically, the dark spots are where the backlight just simply does not work.  I removed the bezel and replaced the sub (thought I would need an inverter, but surprised to find that it is a LED screen), but the same problems.  What do you think guys?  Is it, as has suggested, the motherboard?  As it's going to be a huge pain to get fixed :/

Is there anything else I can do to avoid the other stuff first, which could be cheaper / more common?  One last thing, is that I always noticed that the rear case (i.e. the back of the cover) has always been a little convex and slightly distorted a bit, and initially (as when the laptop first showed this problem) it could be fixed by simple bending the screen a little and moving a bit.  I tested today again, and some parts dark screen can be fixed by pressing right on the LCD itself (when the frame is removed), so I feel as if it was a connection problem, rather than the broken hardware or something.

Thanks in advance

resembling backlight of the LCD that has a problem, a couple of the LED is out or the LED backlight is moved to the LCD screen. But that would require a new LCD on a County.

I had this problem in one of my old T400, requiring a new LCD.

  • Problem of backlight Satellite Pro L10 - the screen is very dark

    Hello

    I've got a L10 Pro of the Satellite with a backlight problem - the screen is very dark.
    How can I confirm if it is the backlight themselves who have failed or the backlight inverter Board?

    Also, can someone point me in the right direction for a copy of the workshop manual?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    As you have said that this problem could be linked to the failure of inverter FL and in most cases, the FL inverter needs to be replaced.
    It's a little bit complicated and it s not desirable to try to replace it to your own hand as this may damage the screen of laptop computers.
    This is why I would really recommend contacting a Toshiba ASP because of two important reasons:
    First reason is that you can order the ASP compatible FL inverter and the second reason is that an ASP could provide help how to replace this part.

    If you want to know where and how he placed s then you can visit this page:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-A105/remove-replace-LCD-screen-1.htm

    Of course, this page shows only the wow of instruction to remove and replace the Satellite A105 FL inverter, but the procedure is not very different from the Sat L10.

    But like I said above; If you have no experience don t do anything, which could damage the laptop!

  • Problem of backlight of screen on my laptop satellite

    Bought a Toshiba laptop in September last year (2008). 5 months ago, display of the laptop started a failure, it is the backlight. Backlight fixed under warranty, reportedly has been replaced by a new one, any good, I'm happy!

    So now the same problem has started to happen again. But now I'm 2 months out of warranty and will have to pay to solve this problem. I called Toshiba, but nobody wants to help this customer.

    I'm really disappointed, because I have to pay for something that should be fixed correctly 5 months when it was under warranty! And I have one more more 3 months warranty... kind of dejavu 5 months, except that this time I pay.

    If this laptop worked for 3-4 years, so it's normal to have these problems, but this laptop has been used for a year and 2 months.

    What bad luck! Particularly in this bad economic time :(

    Hello

    Oh, that s not good news... :(

    Have you already contacted the authorized provider that did fix your laptop? Perhaps the ASP can offer a good solution for this problem as a repair as gesture of goodwill or reduced repair costs.

    I can understand that it's embarrassing, but these things can happen. Nobody is perfect and parts from a laptop computer can become faulty after a few months or only after a few years because they are electrical parts. ;)

    In any case, just contact the ASP again and I think that the ASP will be a good solution for this.

    Good luck!

  • Strange problem with backlight on Sat A60

    When connecting to a g3 datacard modem the backlight turns off. I read that this could be a problem with the FL inverter, but this happens only when the device connects to the internet. Connection via ethernet or wireless, it works. When you restart the laptop, the screen is fine. Any suggestions

    Hello

    Strange. I first heard about this kind of problems.
    In my opinion, if the FL inverter has a malfunction of the backlight must remain turned off every time.

    Is it possible to discern something on the screen if the backlight turns off?
    Perhaps only the brightness of the screen was changed to a lower level. In this case, you should try to use the FN + F7 key combination.

    But it s very rare that this occurs during the use of this card.
    The problem is that this card was not designed by Toshiba. Have you tried to contact the card making? If this isn't the case, so I recommend asking for the support of production of map for details and help.

    I don't have this option on my screen. I have HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI 4.3.3.0. It shows different choices, but neither of you people. The PC was purchased from 01.october.2013.

    I tested with a HDMI display and it works OK.

    Ok.

    Is it important if you use the graphics card performance?

    Install the latest version of the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.   There the available diagnostic test.

    Based on what you reported, it ceratinly looks like the portion of the display LED backlit is a failure. This part can be purchased separately

    I guess that the spectrum is no longer in warranty, based on "The PC was bought 01.october.2013.". Is this correct?

    Replacing the LED backlit screen, that's what will solve the problem. There is no converter in a backlit led display

    If you feel uncomfortable with do it yourself you will save a little. The price range is very broad since it is a touch screen and the high-end model. You need to open the HP Support Assistant or the BIOS to find the full product number.  You will need to know what screen is installed before ordering the part.

  • Problem of backlight flicking of HP Pavilion dv4-1412tx

    I have a 2 years old Hp Pavilion dv4-1412tx laptop and recently I have a problem with my backlight of the screen. It wobbles a lot and sometimes totally blackoff when I have the screen at certain angles of tilt. It wobbles too much even when I slightly move or shake the laptop. I changed the inverter, but the problem remains. I feel is wrong with the cable/Ribbon that connect the screen on the main body of the laptop. I checked upward with a local computer store and they told me that there is no spare parts for the connector of cable/Ribbon for my particular model. I even made reference interview dv4 guide manual that I downloaded from the hp site and I can't find any references to this particular piece. Is there anyone can help?

    Hi, Benjamin,.

    Yes. I just got my replaced dv4-1412tx LCD cable and it works fine now. It took almost 3 weeks for research technician and wait for the new cable to arrive. The part S/N is DC02000IO00-screen LCD - PA (the characters after 2000 is alphabet 'io' not '10'). You can do a google search and even get it on ebay.

    http://www.eBay.com/Sch/i.html?_nkw=dv4+LCD+cable

    This seems to be a common problem for older models dv4. If you google on the web, you will see a lot of people are facing the same problem. I wish the Hp technical support team can read this message and give appropriate assistance to those in need.

    I hope this info will help. Good luck!

  • BlackBerry 8310 Blackberry Smartphones, problem of backlight keyboard for 4.5 upgrade

    I installed the between 4.5, things are working fine so far, except the keyboard backlight, it lights up in time, but most of the time it stays off in the night, she's a bitch! All settings have been verified and the phone was traded again by ATT, but the new phone they gave me the dose exactly the same thing, I'm sure it's a software problem, can anyone help?

    Mark

    Well, after several calls to ATT and a few stops at the store, there was a new feature added that upgrade, that I didn't know and I really don't think very well received by anyone who deals with BlackBerry.

    The small LED light at the top of your blackbeery now is how you turn on the keyboard light when it fires. It works most of the time, but I think it's a pain the * beep *. But who am I... Laughing out loud

    So when its dark outside or you need the keyboard for you put your finger on the little light LED light at the top and the keyboard lights up.

    I think everyone should say blackberry this new battery additional economy feature sucks.

    It took me 3 weeks to get this figured out... Laughing out loud

  • Problem of helmet T400s: one female connector for microphone and headphones

    Hello

    would need information about the headphone jack on the left side of the laptop. Whereas, in my old X60s have been two connectors for Microphone and stereo headphones (separately), now in the T400s remains only one connector, combining these two functions. As I like to keep my helmet: what type of connector / adapter should be used? Is the new jack mono or stereo?

    Who can help me?

    Kind regards

    Lutz

    Hi the masts (and all others).

    problem solved here: I bought a Belkin adapter in 'Y' photo here

    Works very well with a mono headset (1 x MIC) and 1 x headset, both with stereo jack.

    The microphone uses the top of the connector, the headset uses the second port. Perfect.

    Have fun

  • Backlight bleed Edge 15

    Hey all,.

    I had a post a few months ago, but it has been mixed around and did not answer, probably because the edge was still new and was not yet listed on the Lenovo site.

    Anyway, I'm having a problem of backlight villain, and I wonder if it's worth to send it to repair. I have attached an image, and you'll notice in the upper left, and about 2/3 left in the upper right there is a fairly large yellow glow. Is this normal?

    Thanks in advance for answers!

    Needs, no. Expected, Yes.

    This is an excellent example of some horrible backlight bleed.

  • Inactivity timer T400 questions?

    I seem to have an interesting problem with my T400, which seems to have developed in the last few hours or more. Whatever the settings in the power management or power of Win7 settings, my screen invariably cut to one or two minutes of idle time, whether on battery or AC. I find it extremely annoying and try to tackle this problem. Has anyone come across this and managed to fix it?

    I've never seen this problem, but you are sure that you do not have stretch activated battery and do not have a screen saver with just a black screen placed 1 min? Also, you have correctly applied the power plan? And of course you are talking about the internal display on the laptop, not an external monitor?

    Did you change for a few hours like software installation, change the settings of system of som or anything at all?

    Just guessing here for some reasons possible and really have no idea why this happen.
