hey,

i have had the same problem with my computer as imdabs, the only thing i have been able to do to turn the computer on is move the screen until the computer finially turns on. But if i bump the screen at all the screen will go blank right away and i will have to turn the computer completely off for it to work again. if anyone has found a solution to this problem i would love to know it

thanks

Hi, another Newbie here and I amhaving trouble with my IBM T22 display screen...which is also black.

It starts up, goes to the Windows welcome and then goes blck. The hard drive is fine as I pulled it and tried it in another laptop. Oddly, when the battery needs recharging and it is not plugged in to AC, it goes to the bios password and configuration. The screen is fine. As soon the new date and time are entered and F10 is pushed the screen goes black.

Any help would be appreciated. I love my T22 and really don't want another type of laptop.

Thanks,

Marybeth

That strikes as your inverter is dead dude if you can see faint images but have no backlight.

So is this problem fatal?

Marybeth

no not at all. Most inverters cost around £25-£40 pounds, I know some american sites that sell them for around $80 for various models.
However you may replace the inverter and still have no backlight, which means in some cases you will need a new set of backlights.
But mostly it is an inverter problem if the screen is dark, but images can be made out if you shine a bright light on it or look very closely at the screen.

Your problem is the backlight on your monitor is done. Unfortunately on the toshiba, the backlight cannot be replaced alone. It is made to the lcd screen but is not detachable and you must replace the entire package. The whole thing will cost you between 3 and 4 hundred dollars American money so I don't know what that will be for you. Good luck.
