    There is no display on Dell Inspiron 11z(1110). I tried all regular troubleshooting tips
    1. Start with/without battery
    2. Start without memory module installed
    etc. etc

    As it's out of warranty I need to get fix on my own. Is the Video card is integral part of mother board or its a separate module on this?

    The 1110 has integrated video... it's relatively unlikely that that will fail. Does the unit power up at all?

    Does it display externally? If it doesn't then you have a bad motherboard/video circuit. If it does then you have a bad LCD/LVDS cable.
