    Hi,

    My screen died recently and I am almost postive that this is an inverter problem.

    This is the same time it happens to me. Is this a recurrent problem for other users too? (if there are still any lef using a m1437g :) )

    I would also like to ask if any of you has any idea about the following:
    1. Is it easy for me to change the inverter? (FJ will charge me way to much for something that at the end might be trivial). Is there any guide about how to do it?
    2. I have tried looking around in the net in order to buy it but I realised that I do not have the exact ID number for the inverter. Is there any list with all the spare parts of the m1437g?

    Tnx!

    The screen just went black. Or so I though in the begining
    Because if I pay attention I can see that the screen is functioning normaly but everything is so extremely dark that it gives the impression of a black screen.
    I looked around for info about this problem and from the things I read I assume it is the inverter who stopped working.

    Is this helpfull?

    Yes it is still black when switcing on the laptop.

    But by black I mean again that it is extremely dark. If I pay attention I can see that everything boots up as normally.

    To give you a better idea, imagine what you would see if you had the screen at lowest luminosity and at the same time you are wearing extremely dark sunglasses (like the ones used by climbers when they climb mountains fully covered by snow).
    This is what has I see.

    And it happened while I was working on the laptop not after a shutdown.
