Hardware help

g'day all i'm assuming i can ask a Q? like this here if not sorry.
i have a prob with an acer TravelMate 2308WLMi, it fell off a bed and the pin in the power input port snapped off inside the machine i can and have fixed laptops like this befor so i took it apart and resoldered the break that was all fine it recharges now like normal and turns on ect, but with 1 prob the LCD screen will not come on! it's quite weird all the plugs are back in the right place im 100% certin on it i reasembeled it 3 times to make shour, and as i said it boots up fine the DVDD ejects and all but not a thing from the screen i guess my Q? is dos any one know if this laptop has some sort of cut off after it's been disconected from the motherboard or if it needs a cd to be inserted or something else? or if any one knows a good place on the net to ask something like this?

thanks for any help.

 

I'm guessing that maybe the LCD connector has broken/come loose. Could have happened during the fall. Try using an external monitor.

 

na, it worked fine after the fall it just didnot rechange cos of the pin. but thats an exelent idea did not even think of it ill give the external monitor a go thanks. i may just have to bite the bullet and take it to a laptop place.
