#1 Post by stinkybloo » Thu Sep 29, 2011 5:08 am

Hello,

Can someone help me please?

Where is the LCD inverter on the Lenovo ThinkPad SL510, I have looked at the base of the screen behind the plastic cover, but only the speakers are there no inverter?

Thank you

@RealBlackStuff, thanks for the link but the manual was for ThinkPad SL400, SL400c, SL500, and SL500c, whereas stinkyboo was referring to SL510. I looked at the hardware manual for the SL510 and it does not appear to have an inverter card.

However, is there an equivalent card for the LED-backlight?

Modern LED-backlit LCDs don't need an inverter any more, as they run on 5-20V.
An 'old' inverter needed to produce up to 1400V for lighting the CCFL.
OP did not mention WHY s/he wants what s/he calls an inverter.
