T42p indicator lights

#1 Post by allwooba » Thu Dec 27, 2007 6:18 pm

T42p:

Screen failed. Had it replaced. New screen a-ok. Indicator lights, not a-ok. With the exception of the wireless indicator, all indicator lights are now dark. Any thoughts?

Gratefully,
Jeff

Certainly, if the screen was fixed by IBM/Lenovo, send it back. I have seen the problem caused by bad inverter, bad cable, damaged motherboard connector and unexplained mysteries.

this issue is most likely due to MB defect.
replace it if warranty still valid
