My cf 27 had a bad power switch, so I got a used power board from Bob Johnson's and installed it. Okay now I have a working power switch, but when I powered up the computer, the screen now "flickers", and looks a little washed out, and you have to view it from an up angle to really see it. Could the board I got have a bad component? or could I have shorted something out? maybe something grounding out? I love this computer, so I need to figure it out. If any body has seen this before, please help!

Thank you,
DDAYMEN

try with an external screen, if that work fine, it is the inverter or the back lite that is gone

Make sure that the flat LCD cable is firmly pinched in the ZIF connector that is most likely the problem.
