LG Flexview LCD replacement or inverter problem?
Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2011 5:24 pm
I have two T60p machines. My main workhorse has a very bright screen, the backup notebook's LCD has always been a few notches dimmer.
I'm trying to determine whether this is caused by a dying backlight or whether it could be the inverter card that needs changing.
I was shocked this week to hear that IBM parts had no stock left. The T60p is 4-5 years old, but still. I found another parts seller. Though they guaranteed the part was new and genuine IBM the panel is clearly refurbished/used.
Imagine my surprise when I saw that the new panel has the same brightness issue as the old. Is that an indication the inverter could be the problem or could there be other reasons?
