MERGED QUESTION
Question from Blazing1234 : "Asus ux303ln screen replacement"

So the cable connecting the screen to the mother board gave off alittle smoke and i could hear a little eltrical spark. now the backlights dont work on the screen. Do i buy a new screen or whats the prooblem here? oh and next time should i take out the battery or is turning it off enough?
p.s I was trying to fix the hinges on the screen becausse of the poor design by asus held together by 6 screws and plastic.

Did you ever get a solution to this? I did exactly the same thing.

No did not , I did some research and it might have something to do with the backlight chip being burnt out on the motherboard.I am going to take it into the shop as see what the problem is I'll tell you once it's done so you may be able to fix it yourself.

Thanks so much for your reply. There's a repair guy here in town too so I might get him to take a look. I'll let you know.

My backlight came back on again for about 20 minutes. I was running it through hdmi to another monitor when it happened.

Also... while it was back on, there was distinct screen flickering... but it went away when the laptop was on charge. Came back again whenever I unplugged it.

And... slightly twisting the laptop base can halt the flickering too. Maybe it's a motherboard component.

Very unimpressed that the hinge was built so poorly though. If it had been stronger, none of this would have happened. Excellent laptop otherwise!
