The report from (vertical color bands that progressed to a fully dark display) and the early comment by point to a small set of likely hardware causes. The checks below are ordered from least invasive to more involved, and aim to narrow the fault without buying parts prematurely.

  • Look for a faint picture: with room lights off, shine a strong flashlight at an angle across the screen while the laptop is on. A faint desktop or login image means the LCD is still forming the image but the backlight (inverter/CCFL or LED driver) is not lighting.
  • Observe hinge behavior: slowly open and close the lid while watching. If the image appears or flickers with movement, that usually implicates the panel cable/hinge wires.
  • Inspect and reseat the panel cable: power down, remove all power sources, document screw locations with photos, remove the bezel and carefully disconnect and reseat the display (LVDS) cable at both panel and board. Look for frayed wires, adhesive failures, or corrosion.
  • Check the inverter/board visually: CCFL-equipped displays have a small inverter board in the bezel area. Look for bulging caps, burn marks or loose connectors. Do not touch high-voltage points; inverters carry dangerous voltages.
  • If the LCD shows no faint image and cable/inverter look good, the LCD panel or its driver circuitry is likely failed. Confirm the panel part number from the sticker on the back of the glass before ordering a replacement to match connector type and backlight method.

Static-safe handling and basic tools are enough for bezel and cable work. High-voltage measurements, solder repairs or panel replacements are best done by a qualified repair shop. For older 17" VAIOs, compare part cost plus labor to the laptop's value before purchasing a new panel.

i have no idea what to do about it? suggsyx69 (help)

i think you already know its dead ,maybe hook an external monitor to it to make sure that it's the screen and not the video adapter ,
then if that works you need to replace the lcd in the laptop ,take it to a computer shop to be sure
