Thinkpads Forum

I previously install antenna for my wifi card. Today after I removed it from behind the LCD, now my back light is not working. What should I check and do? I'd check connector and seems to be connected. Cables looks ok. I'm done messing with this one, I'm gonna put it up for sale soon. Maybe after I get the LCD working.

I'd unplug and replug the inverter and restart still dark.
Did I accidently hit something while try to remove the
antenna or what. Urg!!!!.

This thing already cost me a fortune. How much does
it worth now if any at all?

While I await help from you guys, i will open up my
iSERIES 1200 to see if it's the same inverter. Check if
the inverter still good.

Before I take it to the community sale thread. Here is the info:

433Mhz
192MB(64mb + 128mb)
big 14' screen(light just went out)
DVD
FD
60gb, Windows ME on it.
Battery went bad after bios upgrade. Of course, now
my LCD
Good physical condition accept one little hole on the back close to the USB port where I had my antenna going thru.

Ok, bringing back the old hobby.

I just started to play with this laptop again.
Test results:

1. CCL light is ok, tested with other inverters.
2. inverters is ok(maybe), replaced with new used one.
3. Video card is ok, tested w/ external display and it's LCD shows display.

All flat zif cable looks good, no tears no breaks. Seems like no power is going into the inverter. What other things could I check?

Anyway I can bypass the inverter?

Look for a small fuse on the motherboard near the video cable plug.
