laptop screen help

ok i have a toshiba p15-s409 i got it with a bad backlight problem so i all ready knew most of the time its caused by a bad back light so i replaced the backlight today booted it up WOW it worked great yay i was so happy i fixed it then later that day it crapped out again omfg dude i was pissed it used to light up red when you would turn it on or plug the inverter into it but now it stopped so i removed the backlight from the screen it self i think thats bad but what should i do? do you think i should just replace the screen or what i really need help im comfused and pissed off

 

possibly the inverter is bad then. i believe (could be wrong) that a bad or dying inverter will continually blow bulbs until it's replaced.

 

i have 3 inverters i have the bad one the one i bought to replace it and the one for a dv8000 ( the guy who was selling it says its compaible and they look identical to each other ) and when i bought the new one it worked good for about 1-2 hours then it died

 

It seems as if you are getting a short somewhere. usually the inverters are not the problem. If you are using an inverter which is designed for a different screen/notebook, then remove it, that is causing your backlights to break. the inverter essentially kicks the voltage up to about 200volts inside the screen, and if it is not functioning properly, it will overload and thus destroy the backlights.

You should just call up toshiba, and get a new screen, if they sold it to you that way.

the laptop is about 3-4 years old and i didnt purchus it i was given it to fix for someone and they basically forgot about it and gave it to me

 

I would look on excel computers site for lcd parts.
They usually have most of the parts one is looking for

If the machine is 3-4 yrs old, you may be better parting it out, and selling the parts which work, and then buying a new laptop. A screen is going to be quite expensive.
You can get a new laptop these days for $500-700

well the lcd it self is good no cracks or dead pixels its just the little florecent ( i cant spell it correctly ) lightbulb backlight is bad

 

you should be able to buy the backlight and inverter somewhere. Just make sure that they will work with your laptop. Using an inverter from an hp was a bad idea, you have to use parts which are designed to work with your laptop.

the inverter is the same inverter for both laptops the guy who sold it says so ( its not some shady selller ) and they look identical and the backlight is the little light inside of the actual screen you cant buy it i cant upload a picture of it but trust me it reuqires dissembling the LCD it self
