Battery not charging after replacing the screen

#1 Post by Marco665 » Tue Nov 11, 2008 9:23 pm

Hello!

First of all - i did a little search but apparently nobody has came across the same problem as me.
So here's the deal: Recently I bought a used X30 (sweet machine by the way, still gets 4 hrs on the battery while surfing the net and listening to music, I think I'm becoming an IBM-fanatic :) ), in a good condition apart from the lcd screen (it has couple of annoying "ghosts" from the keyboard and is scratched) and french keyboard, which is nowhere near the polish one. So i bought a "donor" X30 for next to nothing :). I replaced the keyboard and the screen with its cable (the "donor" X30 came without lcd's front bezel and inverter, so i put the old ones instead). The keyboard worked fine but the inverter was emitting a really annoying high-pitched noise each time I opened any light-colored folder or program in the lower right part of the screen. Also the battery didn't charge when on AC (but id did uncharge without it).
I changed the screen back and now everything is back to normal (during this I found a loose screw near the ac connector socket, but it didn't fit anywhere inside the notebook).

Is it possible that the loose screw somehow short-circuited the power when I first opened the computer, and now, when I took it out it's like it was earlier?? Or is it the inverter's fault??

What about the screen?? The original one is a LG/Philips and the new one is IDTech. Also, if it makes any difference - my X30 is a 2672-4GG model and the donor is 2673-AG7. Do i have to change the inverter (if so - which one should I get)??

Thanks in advance for your replies.
