I need help with a acer travelmate 517te. i origionally bought this off of
ebay and the guy said that the lcds and motherboards work but it didnt have
anything like memory , harddrive, things like that. well i got the laptop
put in everything that was needed but there is nothing showing up on the
screen. you can hook up a external monitor and it works but when u look at
the laptop screen u can see the image faintly. i seen a replacemnt screen
for 175.00 but i dont want to buy a whole new scree if its something else
went wrong. any help can be appriciated. you can reply here or send me a
email to rkelly8604 AT hotmail DOT com

Sounds like the backlight is burning itself out. It should be cheaper to replace that than the whole screen.
