    Hi
    I own a VAIO VGN-N395E/B laptop. One day I found that the display is not working. The laptop boots fine but there is no display.
    Is the display card a separate unit or integrated with mother board. If that is the case will I have to change the mother board?

    Please advice.
    Thanks
    Ice

    Sometimes the ribbons that feed the power to the display through the hinges erode. Did the screen go suddenly black or did it have some colored ribbon-like variations in the image on an earlier boot-up?
