    Hello

    I have a toshiba Satellite M65-S821. No OS installed yet.
    The previous LCD displayed a backlight but and a dark screen.
    I diagnosed the issue to be a faulty LCD display.

    I purchased a new LCD display online and received it today.
    and installed it as well.
    The new display worked fine for a couple of boots, then it
    went back to displaying the same way as the previous LCD display.
    I went back and opened the laptop to make sure everything was tight
    and have no loose cables.
    The LCD now displays a dark screen. When I connect it to an external monitor
    their is a display on the external monitor.
    What should I try next?

    kinds regards,
    Mula

    Did you get a new inverter when you changed the LCD screen?

    no I did not....
    why would you think its the inverter,
    I dont think it could be the inverter because their is power going to the display
    the backlight goes on.

    you say it's a dark screen. So I think there is not enough power going to the backlight. I may be wrong.
