A few months ago I bought a second hand C50-A-157 on Windows 7 which worked until recently. Last week, I switched it on and the screen appeared to be blank however; if I shine a torch on it, I can see the desktop very faintly.

When I removed the screen bezel, there was the screen, camera and assorted wires but no inverter. Thus, using the part numbers off the original, I ordered a replacement screen panel (NT156WHM-N50) and a video cable (1422-01EH000) and fitted them, but to no avail. I'm back at square one. Any suggestions please?

Hi, the problem is a component on the motherboard that passes power for the backlight of the screen. Somehow this component has become defective, it is very easy to replace.
