hi...its mea agin.. replaced the screen thinking it was the backlight...ordered a new inververter board...still no bright screen. read something about the computer thinking it was closed...something about a pin is possibly stuck...not sure where this pin is located...any suggestions on possible issues.
Try the following first :
- Remove the battery
- unplug the power brick cable from the laptop
- hold down the power button for 60 seconds
- plugged in the power brick only to the laptop
- turn on the laptop
- shut down the laptop
- reinsert the battery
- turn the laptop on
If the above procedures fail then look at the magnetic On/Off Switch that detects whether the lid is Closed/Open. The location of the magnet on the lid cover should give you an indication of the area where the magnetic switch would be located in the base of the laptop.
Try powering up the laptop with the lid flipped up at a 30 degree angle.
