I have an older laptop so I can't spend much to fix it. It has a dark screen but the image is still viewable with a flashlight. I have replaced the inverter, the light bulb, and the harness from the motherboard to the inverter to no avail. I'm at the end of my technical ability so I am asking for help. I bought the inverter and the bulb new from a parts supplier and the harness is used from Ebay. Can anyone give me some idea of what might be the problem? Does the motherboard send a signal to the screen to light up? Could it be the motherboard? As you can see, I'm not an expert but I like to try to fix things myself. HELP!!!!
