    Hello guy's,im not sure if im posting in the right section but im kind of desperate. I've got a sony vaio laptop model vgn-c1s 13.3 inch sreen.Lately its been giving me problems and now the screen went black. I can see the desktop image from an angle and i see that the desktop image doesn't fill all of the screen.It only covers half of the screen.I changed the inverter but still no luck. So let me recap: Screen doesnt backlit and the image that it shows doesnt fill the whole screen.Please guy's this is driving me crazy!! :mad:

    p.s: when connected to anexternal display everything works fine.

    So i guess we can rule out software issue? Anything with the bios? If the laptop stays off for a couple of days the screen works fine when i power it on,but when it runs for a bit then it goes black again.

    I dont think so.

    if you have no VAIO logo with backlight - LCD is alredy silicone heaven (lamp in LCD not starting)
    because you said inverter is changed

    yes mate,vaio is not backlit but we hooked the screen on another inverter from a bigger vaio and the screen lit up.But still the desktop image wasn't covering the whole screen.it's like im getting the desktop size of a 10 inch laptop on my 13.3 inch screen.Could it be a bad inverter and a bad lcd cable?
