In this post I explain how to remove screen inverter and replace LCD screen in a Compaq Presario m2000 laptop. It’s way easier to disassemble the laptop display panel when the display panel is separated from the laptop. You’ll find instructions for removing the display panel in my previous guide for Compaq Presario m2000 laptops, just follow steps 1,2,3,9,10. This guide might work for some other Compaq Presario laptops. If it works for you, please mention the laptop model in the comments below.

It is possible to remove the inverter and LCD screen while the display is still attached to the laptop but it will be harder to remove the screen bezel.

If the backlight in your laptop stopped working and the image on the screen is so dim that you can barely see it under bright light, most likely you have a failed inverter board. There is a good chance to fix the problem if you replace the inverter board.
If you replace the inverter board but the image is still dim, most likely there is a problem with the backlight lamp inside the LCD screen. If that’s the case, try replacing the LCD screen.
