7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installing your new screen, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Display / Blank Screen:
  1. Connect an external monitor to your laptop to confirm the laptop itself is operational.
  2. Ensure the 40-pin video cable is securely connected to both the new screen and the laptop's motherboard. Disconnect and reconnect it firmly.
  3. Verify that the number of pins on the original LCD connector and the new screen's connector are identical (both 40-pin).
  4. If the issue persists and is identical to the problem with the old LCD, the fault may lie with another component of the laptop (e.g., motherboard, GPU).
• Dim Image:
  1. Try connecting your old LCD (if it still displays an image, even if broken) to see if it also appears dim.
  2. If both screens are dim, check the backlight fuse on the laptop's motherboard, usually located near the video connector.
