right chaps i have a advent 7302 lap top

was working fine til i closed it up (not shut it down) opened back up after watching a bit of tv and teh screen has gone black

can this be fixed somehow or is it a right off


thanks

My advent used to do this gus would go off i would give it a technical tap and it would come back on

Ps i dont advise hitting your laptop

 

i have not a technical tap in me. More of a destructive ding. Are the backlights easy to replace? Expensive job?

 

it sounds like its the inverter (changes the power so it can brighten up the screen) on its way out.... you can get them replaced, but normally cost a pritty penny.......plus labour charges on top, unless your willing to do it yourself? probably looking at £150 - £200 notes to get it fixed....... as long as it is the inverter, could also be the screen itself which i wouldnt then bother tryign to replace.....

 

backlight circuit is dead/dying. just had this on a HP here at work had to send it back for repair.

 

Sorry the use your post gus
My TFT monitor (Iiyama E431S) also goes black but the led light stays green, if i turn the screen off and then on again it's ok for a few seconds and then goes black again

Any ideas???
