M17xR2 Inverter Repair help.

Heya guys,

Problem:
I turn on the laptop and the Bios screen loads (looks kinda yellow though) then goes black the sounds loads into Windows 7. Connecting a External monitor and the image is there, Both Video cards working perfectly, its either the LCD or the Inverter from what I can tell, I lean towards the Inverter because sometimes I can see a faint image on the LCD, only problem is I have no idea how to get to it, anyone help me out, I want to try and clean the Inverter and hope to save a fortune as my warranty just ended (go figure huh), I heard LCD in a laptop replacement can get very expensive.

 

Take a look at these two teardown videos, you'll see a partial panel disassembly in the 2nd part:

As for a LCD replacement you'll have to remove the edge to edge plexy( it's glued )

 

I have no idea what or where in the LCD the Inverter is and how to clean it. I called Alienware and a replacement LCD will cost 1,500 Canadian, 1000 with a discount which is crazy imo they won't fix it only replace it due to the expiry running out a few weeks ago boo.

Does anyone have step by step with pictures or drawing on how I could clean the Inverter? I am able to open the computer and LCD up with no problems.

 

Ok found where it is located, now need to know how to clean it, and where would if needed would I get a replacement anyone have any sites?
