Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 and i replace the fan on it. Now when i assembled the whole laptop back . The laptop boots up and i see the dell logo for a second then the screen goes black. No beeps or nothing. The first thing i tried was to see if it was the GPU so i plugged a vga cable but nothing happened no pictured. Then i unplug the lcd from the motherboard and plug in the vga and i see picture and it works normal. So can it be the inverted is mess up or did i burn the inverter when i was taking it apart.
 
Hi :)

Well you did something wrong..strip down again to see, but burnt out inverters are obvious by the burn marks and I doubt its that...

All the best Brett :)
 
Hello thanks for the reply i got a replacement inverter and lcd wire and replace it ,but it still happens i dont know what could be the problem.
 
Hi :)

Take it to a laptop repair shop for diagnosis, you obviously got something wrong when you stripped it... a lappy is nowhere as easy as a PC...

All the best Brett :)
