ThinkPad R50 - dark LCD display

Hi all

I have an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R50 1830 - hl4. Laptops LCD screen is very low, and the images may just slightly been seen on screen. I installed all the XP drivers and still nothing. I also updated the BIOS of the 3.04 version a to version 3.23 (latest version), it did not work either. Plugged into an external monitor, the PC works fine but the laptop LCD still cannot be seen - which means that its probably not the video card that is destroyed. What other things I can try to solve this problem?

Any help would be appreciated...

Thank you

Of Dean.S

    Satellite M40-265 LCD displays the image complete but crushed on two-thirds of the screen

    When my Satellite M40 - 265 ATIMobility Radeon X 700 and omega 3.8442, Windows Xp drivers, Sp3 boots by setting the LCD + analog RGB, initially only displays on the external screen after startup can be switched with Fn + F5 on LCD. Then appears on the LCD, the complete picture but only two thirds of the screen, third, the right is black. It works so well when the external monitor is not connected during the boot.

    When defini set to auto, select the display to the computer starts only when an external monitor is connected, then after that, I spent in the LCD screen.
    Damage to the inverter is excluded as already checked. Inspect visually the cable of the LCD displays nothing. Beside the left speaker, a ground wire (black) to screwed, but it is s t connected anywhere.

    Starting in safe mode is possible to use a display fullscreen on external

    Hello

    The M40 is a not sure oldie about the available settings in the BIOS and in the graphics options, but I think you should check the settings of the graphics card ATI Catalyst.
    I remember that ATI catalyst supports certain options such as resizing the Image. Here you can select the image scale Panel option full size
    In addition, you must set the resolution on the internal screen at native resolution of 1280 x 800
    I think that the external monitor supports the resolution, which is not the same thing as the screen internal.

  • Portege R100 and WUXGA(1920x1200) external LCD display

    I bought Dell 24 inch wide LCD display.

    I thought that my portege R100 can support the resolution 1920 x 1200 because its maximum resolution is 2048 x 1536, but it's not. TT

    Graphics chip is trident cyber xp4.

    I already tried to use software PowerStrip, but it did not work for the chipset graphic trident.

    Is it possible that I can use the resolution of WUXGA(1920x1200) using my portege R100 as regestry change or what ever?

    Hello

    I found the info that 1600 x 1200 is a resolution supported max for Portege R100. As much as I know there no way to change this through any changes to the registry. As you know the performance of the graphics card can not be changed.

  • Satellite 1800: Fault pin plastic LCD display!

    "Look at the LCD display screen. If you can see a small image on the screen, backlight fluorescent display screen can be disabled. Light of a flashlight directly to the screen will make it much easier to see if or not there is a screen image actually present, but not turned on. On most Toshiba laptops, there is a small plastic or metal pin near one of the LCD cover hinges. When the display lid is closed (closed), this PIN is pressed against an internal switch that turns off the backlight, saving battery power. You can turn on the backlight by pressing repeatedly on this PIN. The normal screen image will be then suddenly appear or reappear. »

    It's a recommendation, I took for my Satellite 1800 Toshiba help suggestiuons... However, when I type the PIN, she don't flick the backlight on and then turns off very quickly. I can't stay!
    It drives me crazy and I can't find anywhere on the net wherer this fault is mentioned.

    The problem has gradually worsened over time. I used to be able to move the angle of the screen and tapping the PIN to operate. But now, I don't have a chance so he could stay forever! I think I have to open the screen and check if the PIN needs to re - solder or perhaps the FL lamp wire is pinching somehow...

    I do not know... I am far from being a geek... also... What does FL stand for?

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP.

    Hi Liam,

    The description of your problem suggests that the FL inverter has failed. It is a component that provides the background lighting for your screen.

    Normally when you close the PIN you are talking about depresses a switch that turns off the UPS FL. If you can get a momentary illumination of you LCD when you prod this switch I think the inverter FL itself is defective.

    The bad news is that you will need to take your laptop to a partner of authorized Service for repair. The good nes, it's that the FL inverter is not one of the more expensive items.

    Kind regards

  • Inspiron 6000 - no LCD display

    I tried to set my daughter-in-laws Inspiron 6000 for these past few weeks.
    Problem: No LCD screen after the blue bar of Windows.
    Actions:
    Last RELOADED, video driver (ATI MobilityRadeon X 300), Bios (A09), adjustment and Support of Dell diagnostics.  .
    An external monitor works fine.
    A ran the last video diagnostics (from CD) and passes LCD display all tests.
    When you display the view tab in the properties of the video, it shows the connected monitor (if you use the external monitor) and shows the LCD screen as 'Not connected', even if the lid is open.
    The system is not in standby mode when the lid is closed, even if the option is enabled.
    Conclusion: The lid switch must be faulty.
     
    Has anyone replaced the cover switch in the Inspiron 6000?   If so, what is the part number and where can buy the switch?
    PS. This forum has been a great help to me this good.

  • Tecra A9 - LCD display very Dim

    Hi all!

    My Tecra A9 age of 4 years has recently developed a problem with the screen. While using it, I heard a zap and the cut screen. He has not worked since. I was able to plug it into an external to continue monitor to use it even if.

    But I found that the screen is not actually dead, its just very dim. If I look closely and shine a torch above, I can see what is on the screen. Which leads to believe me its something to do with the backlight of the LCD screen.

    Also, I checked, and this isn't a problem with the sensor thinks the lid is closed.

    In any case, I would like to know if anyone has an idea on what the problem is specifically? If so, is the kind of problem that I can fix myself or do I need someone from Toshiba to do for me?

    Thank you!

    Hi Matt89,

    I agree with Akuma. If an external monitor works, it looks like that the FL inverter is faulty. This inverter controls the backlight of the internal display and even it would be defective you can see the picture but very very dark.

    If think the best would contact an authorized service provider. Guys can order a FL original inverter which is compatible and replaces it for you because the screen itself must be dismantled, and that's not easy.

    If your laptop isn't under warranty gift more worry because FL inverter is not so expensive. :)

  • Tecra S1: Notebook generates noise when the LCD display is on

    Tecra S1 is 4 years old and generates a high noise when the LCD is turned on (from last week). The noise comes most of the keyboard. Could this be a defunct ups?

    Is there an easy way to fix it? It's not very loud, but in a quiet that is audible.

    Hmmm I think this noise comes certainly from the FL inverter.
    But I can't tell if the inverter is faulty or not because I noticed that her top on different laptops when the brightness of the display is placed on the lower floor.

    But if you think that this problem was not present in the past, then you need to contact a technician who could help you replace the inverter FL.

    Best regards

  • Poor meanless LCD display on tecra 6000

    I wiped recently a 6000 Tecra HDD used as installation of win 2000 any unstable daughter. Installed new WIN98 SE and new ŒUVRES.
    The image was strong but low (600 x 400?). I noted're assignment and went into the BIOS to set the STRETCH. Of course, this defines full-screen, but very low resolution.
    Could not get the cursor to POSTER to move beyond the setting of lower resolution, and even when I go to hardware and try to install the upper resi LCD monitor I get no change, no driver seems to be OK and always bacjk to system default to this setting of poor.

    I lose a valuable file when I wiped the disk? I did a BIOS update but doesn't change anything.

  • LCD display intermittent Qosmio X 300 - 11W graduation

    Hi all

    I have a Qosmio X 300 - 11W, and recently, it seems that the LCD tends to fade basically only a weak image on the screen. It is now a random event - sometimes, when I boot it starts dim and her lights up after a few minutes/hours or the screen if running perfectly then suddenly go dim.

    I suspect that this is due to the lighting or the mechanism of sensor close the lid of the laptop LCD. I took the following measures until now:

    Checked on an external monitor - that works as expected and work very well
    Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest Nvidia Graphics - no change
    No change in radical measure to a new windows installation and update of the BIOS and all drivers - occurred (was considering a re-installation of window anyway, so not as crazy as it sounds)

    As a result, I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to proceed:
    Are there tests I can lead to find the problem for the backlight?
    Are there tests I can do to check or fix problems with the sensor close the lid?
    All other considerations, I have to take into account.

    Cheers in advance

    Harry

    > Checked on an external monitor - that works as expected and work very well

    The FL inverter Board, module LCD and card system are related to the display of the circuits.
    In case your system board does not seem to be affected because the external monitor works properly.
    So a FL inverter or LCD module could be affected.
    The FL Inverter control the backlight of the screen, so I think that this part should be tested and verified first.

    But how do you do this without going through the parts and diagnostic tools?
    I think that it is a job for a technician
    Guys would be able to detect the faulty part and you pay only for the part that is malfunctioning.

  • Glimmer of hope ThinkPad Edge 13 LCD

    Hello world

    I just got my ThinkPad Edge 13 Friday and am really pleased with the look, the feel and performance. However, it is a small (maybe 5 x 5 pixels) light spot on the LCD screen, on the left side in the middle. Just to be clear: it is not a dead or stuck pixel, but a brighter patch.

    This type of damage is caused by applying pressure on the back or the front of the screen, or it may be a manufacturing defect (which is probably the case here since this is a brand new laptop). I checked if it's maybe caused by a raised keyboard, but this probably isn't the case because it seems that everything is installed perfectly.

    I was wondering if I can get the laptop / screen LCD replaced and if I need to contact the reseller or Lenovo (I'm located in the Netherlands)?

    I disassembled the display and re-sat data cable of the LCD screen on both ends.

    Some of the pixels sparkle.

    I have a second laptop of the exact same make and model that works very well.

    Is the problem with the LCD screen or the data cable?
