    I was the follower of the post, did almost every thing in the post, expect bought both lp133wd sb1 and sb2, to fight with the problem with no image shows on the boot up screen, and one other really hurts it's brightness stay the same regardless how I change the setting, through hotkey, or windowns setting.
    If any body knows the fix, or any suggest would be much appreciate.

    Regarding the brightness adjustment, make sure the cable is completely connected. If it is done correct, you can adjust brightness without a problem.

    Regarding BIOS, have you tried pressing the assist button when the laptop is off?

    thank you for quick help, but it seems quite strange I try to connect the cable as tight as possible for many times, somehow still does not work, even opens up the cable for screen end, doesn't see a visible loose, any other problem mine involve ? :confused: will the newly bios update seems a reasonable factor for not corporate new lcd well enough? maybe i need to buy a new cable to see. :
    BIos problem maybe relate to the cable , i did press assist when laptop is off, but no luck.

    ( unlucky,
    well will keep my eye on it.
    thanks for you help
