    So I got a TLA8 LG screen to replace the one in my P-7801.

    I've successfully switched the screens and plugged in the power cable and webcam cables on the underside of the screen and I've plugged in the cable to the inverter.

    When I turn the power on, the screen lights up, meaning it gets power. But it's a blank black screen. I've checked and the inverter cable is plugged in the right way.

    What could I have done wrong?


    Edit: Nevermind. The LCD cable in the back wasn't plugged in all the way. Boy do I feel dumb xD. Mods feel free to delete this post.
