Question Asus laptop display not working

[nesini]

When swapping cables. Make extra sure that both ends are properly attached. I know it can be tricky at times with laptop internal cables getting them aligned just right.

That is not to worry, but what if I use the laptop 3 cable and laptop 2 or 3 screen (both working), and I try it on laptop 1, and it doesnt work for example. Is there any chance I could damage the cable or something so that when I put it back into laptop 3 I could somehow damage there something? Because I have damaged laptop 1 camera that I wrote when I saw sparks, so I am concerned it could cause some damage to the new things and when I put the new things into laptop 3 cause some damage there too?

Yes, you can damage those fragile cables swapping them about. Just be careful and take your time and you'll likely be okay.

When working inside a laptop, you should always remove the power adapter and battery.

Sorry, I wasnt thinking of that kind of damage, but for example if I put the display cable from laptop 3 and a good display from laptop 3 into laptop 1 that had some damage where I damaged the camera, I am thinking can that do damage to for example the display cable, and when I put it back into original laptop 3, that damaged cable then cause some other damage. Hope that makes sense

Yes. If you have a short/grounding issue due to a damaged component, you could indeed damage a different cable when attaching it to the damaged connector. That is a possibility.

Thats what I am afraid of, and then putting it back in laptop 3 that works perfectly fine now.

There are sites that specialize in laptop parts. Maybe you can find one of those cables for a reasonable price.

Is there a part number or label on the cable?
