I had to go and buy another new laptop on Weds (Sony) as mine died
It is a 2 year old HP pavilion and the wire that goes through one of the hinges and then plugs in beneath the screen has pulled out of the 4 pin plug! Everything still works except the backlight which obviously makes it useless!!
Does anyone on here repair them or know anyone that does as its a fookin good laptop and only slightly lesser spec than HP's latest spec one!
Cheers Spadge...

 

It's the invertor. Shouldn't be too hard. Don't touch it though you'll get a big shock!

 

Already have mate and didn't although it does have a plastic casing thing over it!

 

i am a compaq/hp accredited engineer spadgester

do it all day long tho

have to pay me a fortune to get it done out of hours

the inverter controls the sceen if its just a multiplug that needs sorting amy just be able to rewire it

if its gone completly dim a new one isnt that much

 

ah good. Funny when I've seen people get a shock at work LOL

Take a picture of the invertor and also what make is the LCD? One out of another laptop might fit. What make/model is the machine?

Failing that then direct with HP but I can't see them being cheap. Should cost more than about £35 - 50 to repair including parts from most normal places.
