Laptop lcd inverter blowing repeatedly - why would this happen?
400416
I think the problem might be the lcd+lcd ribbon itself.  \n\nIf it blows twice that means it's not the lcd inverter obviously.  I don't believe it to be the motherboard for a few reasons.  \n\nWhat I think it is:\nI think you might have a shorcircuit somewhere on the ribbon, which might be causing this to happen. Replace the ribbon and the lcd and then see what happens.  You never know.  The LCD could be drawing too much power from the inverter, which could be causing it to overload.  If the ribbon is shorted somwhere, then it could be pulling too much current from the inverter that's causing it to explode.  \n\nSuggestion is to replace the LCD and ribbon.  See if the LCD is good and check to see if the ribbon is good.  If both are good, then try to troubleshoot the motherboard.  See if you can narrow the problem down first before purchasing another inverter.\n\nAlso try to connect the inverter to the motherboard w/o connecting it to the LCD then power on the laptop.  This will tell you if the motherboard is causing it to blowup.  If the inverter works fine, then you know that it's the LCD/Ribbon causing the problem.

I'm not really sure I understand your description. But I can assume two things:\n1. Since you said your laptop is 3 years old, its probably LCD backlight starting to become faulty. LCD screens has a backing layer that provide the light to illuminate the colors on the liquid crystal panel. I suppose you can get it replaced, although... may be a difficult find, if not, expensive.\n2. There is a possibility about faulty or leaking liquid crystal panel. Usually leaking panel produce vertical lines. But these lines usually very striking, can be in one or combination or white, red, green, blue, or black, and will not respond or erroneously respond to graphical changes.\n\nYou can have it checked up, of course.\n\nGood luck

if u hav a AGP graphics card then it could be heating up... happened wid me... or there can also be a virus attack.. the rest a hardware prob in monitor or curcuit prob possible.

<>There are issues with some laptop batteries overheating and causing fires.  I suggest you call Dell support and tell them about this ASAP.

sounds like your video device is overheating.....contact the manufacture, you may have to send it in for service

Yes, try swapping the monitors out.  The one producing the loud ringing noise makes me think that the CRT in your monitor has died.  The 50,000 volt capicator gives out and sometimes produces that noise.  It may be time to buy a new one.  But like the other fellow said, looks at the pins.  Try another monitor on your computer and see if it works--if it does not, it is your video card.

replace your charger or take it into a professional or contact toshiba

check to see if any other appliance works in those sockets. If the socket works. It sounds like the power supply may have gone bad in the computer

There is obviously a short circuit somewhere inside the laptop. If it is that new, send it in for repair.

if its a CRT then just go and buy a new one, since hardly no one will fix CRT monitors cause they pack 25,000 Volts of energey inside, enought to kill someone (nearly had that experience) ifs its a Astro Gateway or ALl in one (Lcd,Crt monitor attached phyiscally to the unit itself) then i think its time for a upgrade.

this often happens if you have attached a USB hub. the short answer is to plug your device DIRECTLY into the PC USB port ( that way the power to the device is coming from the PC itself) - are you sure that the device doesnt need a separate power supply?

It may be the display adaptor hardware in your PC? I assume its integrated into motherboard so do you have (or can borrow) a PCI display adaptor to test this theory? or better yet another computer or laptop you can test the monitor with to see if its the problem or its your PC... Good luck!

I use a power inverter.

... the belt on the vaccuum cleaner causes static electricity ... causing the motherboard to surge ... then causing it to shutdown ... to protect itself ... its common for that to happen ... especially with belt turned vaccuum cleaners ... have fun

check first if u r using the right converter . if it is the right one and u used to use it until a problem exist then check ur laptop it has a burnd diode or transistor

A power supply needs a "load" to run,,I.E.  all that stuff in the computer box.  Some have internal fuses that will blow and you have to open the supply box to check,,There is a 110/220 switch that may have been moved,, I have never had one that I had to mess with jumpers,,  yes, a factory defect is possible,, cold solder joints on large components are quite common coming out of the factory..
