R40 Display Issues - LCD Inverter & Backlight

Hi all,

My LCD screen displayed the common symptoms on backlight failure a couple of weeks ago. I eventually ordered a new backlight from jkllamps.com (may not have been a perfect replacement for my R40 2897-GAU (15")). Anyhow, the lamp didn't light up even after I tried it with a new inverter.

What could be wrong? Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you.

Does the system board still work? Can you get output from the external VGA port?

Hi,

Yes. The system board still works. I have been using it connected
to an external monitor without any problems.

What if you pry up just a little on the button that shuts off the screen when you close the machine? Does the backlight come on?

Hey,

Thanks for the note. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem.
