    Laptop Screen won't Turn On After Display Change

    To add to that, just got the cable, and it does seem as if the motherboard end on the cable I got is slightly not wide enough to fit, it fit the screen though. Just how hard is it to find a connector for this thing? Edit: This is the motherboard end, it's width terminates at the end of it's...

    Laptop Screen won't Turn On After Display Change

    The screen connector looks very similar, but the connector on the motherboard end has it's pins spaced farther apart than mine. Although I may try it. I have another cable coming in soon that I'll try. That new cable being this one...

    Laptop Screen won't Turn On After Display Change

    So it's been a couple of weeks, and try as I might, I cannot source a replacement cable. Gigabyte themselves does not carry any, the website I got the screen from does not carry any either. In case anyone can help, I'm looking for this cable...

    Laptop Screen won't Turn On After Display Change

    Actually, my laptop is a Gigabyte, the screen is a Samsung, and the cable is for a Dell. So it's even worse than you think. But I've compared my cable and the Dell cable, and they appear to be the same, as in connector on both ends. I have no way in hell for finding the P34G's cable because of...

    I'll take a peak at it with a light later. I've ordered a replacement cable though, will it work? http://www.amazon.com/LAPTOP-VIDEO-CABLE-INSPIRON-50-4AQ08-001-A01/dp/B007BHW9WW?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

    How faint are we talking? I'm in a dark room and can't see anything.

    Laptop Screen won't Turn On After Display Change

    The laptop is currently entirely taken apart, but the key parts to have it running are together. The screen is laying off to the side, and plugged in with the 30 pin eDP cable. I've actually found the trigger switch for the sleep/screen off switch, and was able to trigger it to prove that wasn't...

    Laptop Screen won't Turn On After Display Change

    I ordered it from laptopscreen.com, it was a Samsung model, but looks the same and has the same connectors, also, don't know if I mentioned this, but my old, partially working monitor, is now entirely black. I believe it's due to the cable maybe getting damaged? It doesn't look very damaged...

    Laptop Screen won't Turn On After Display Change

    Being someone as clumsy as I, I accidentally dropped my laptop, a Gigabyte P34G V2, a week ago, cracking the screen partially. No biggie, I'll just order a replacement. I do that, and I reassemble the entire laptop, but whenever I turn the laptop on, the new screen itself won't even display...
