So, yesterday the backlight on my laptop died. It had been acting up on me for the past few weeks (kicking out when i touched the back), and finally died altogether. I am not 100% sure what the problem is, but am hoping someone can help me out. Right now I am still able to use the laptop through an external monitor. I can also tell that the laptop screen is still getting a video signal, because I can barely make stuff out on it if I shine a flashlight directly at it. I took it apart to day to try to reseat some connections to no avail. I have a feeling the issue is the long green chip right underneath the screen (dunno what it's called) because that's the area where if any pressure was applied it would kick out. I don't know for sure though, just speculation. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem before, and possible solutions. I was thinking about replacing the entire screen. Is this my best option? or could there be an easier, cheaper solution?
thanks.

The long green strip is most likely the inverter

That's what I thought, however it is an LED screen and therefore supposedly has no inverter. If I replace the entire screen with this: https://www.laptopscreen.com/Englis...odel=ASPIRE TIMELINE X 3820TG-3022&brand=Acer
will my problem be solved? -
Yes, or your money back =)

Get in on that action.
