My first question, before i might fry the backlight or the LCD inverter is...
i decided to hook up a 17 inch laptop screen to my 15 inch laptop to test if it works. And it does and i am typing on it right now. is there a possibility that.. (i think the screen will be fine, or they wouldnt make them standard and compatible with most laptops) so by chance is there a possibility that i will break the LCD inverter because its poweing a bigger lamp from a 17 inch screen than what it was designed for (a 15 inch- smaller lamp)
btw for any of you that might be curios, LCD inverters function is to power thelamp. ( only recentley realised it, never thought if it much before, i just accepted the fact that if i plug in the lcd inverter the screen lights up.
another question i have:
Are newer LED screens compatible with modern LCD laptops? i was just thinking if they were, it might not need an LCD inverter, or the lcd inverter would power the LEDs instead of a lamp or it might need a different LCD inv... ehem sorry LED inverter. and i fear that finding an such an inverter will be hard if not impossible since i have a pretty rare laptop here if there arent laptops out there that use same LED inverter.
The reason i am asking about LED screens is because repairing and replacing LCD screens is really kinda vaige. the whole system sometimes works and sometimes dosent. Here i thought both of my 17 inch screens died, and then i hook it to a 15 inch laptop and it WORKS. then the 17 inch laptop with what i thought was a dead inverter, (as you could barley see the image on the monitor, the backlighting didnt work) i left it on, and left to test the other monitor and when i return THE FRIGGING THING STARTED WORKING!! SCREEN WAS LILT UP AND I COULD SEE ALL THE colors and stuff then, it stopped working again, and i couldnt get it to work.
another question i have is ..... THe 17 inch Lit up again! its weird, the second time just like above, its backlighting dosent work, then i turn it on, leavi it, and it turns on after a while! i can make anything out of it!.
anyway another question i have is about ways to break an LCD inverter. So far, my experience with lcd inverters was pretty weird. liken it might work but it might not work. usually if i am trying to do something about an lcd inverter, (install a new one or something) i do it, when the screen is on, so i can immediatley see the effect. Turning the laptop on and off it might not even start working, but more often, if i unplug the inverter and plug it back in it will immediatley show results. usually the screen will turn white and that means the lamp works so i restart it. Stuff like this unplugging it when it on and stuff. can it break the inverter? and pretty much what kinds of common ways people break inverters? I kinda wanna know this because as i said earlier, this inverter might be rare... So if anyone here knows about this stuff more than i do, ...
Share your whisdom oh the great god of notebook repair!
[edit] ok that thing with the 17" screen with dead backlight and the thing that it will only start working after its left on for some time, well if i (didnt even physically toch the inverter or the screen itself) i would just restart it, and when it turns back on, its like the thing is dead again. then as i figured it will turn on after a while if i leave it.
dont hate people who rip you off,cheat and get away with it, learn from them
