i tried to replace the lcd but ended up being the wrong part. did not fit. after putting everything back together the computer will not even start. no lights, no power. tried without battery. did not work. checked all the connections and still did not start. was working fine before. i only took off the back two panels, keyboard, power strip at top, and lcd. Any ideas. Is there something i could have not connected correctly that would not let the computer show any sign of power?

Matthew,

I recently replaced my LCD for my XPS M1530. when I close my laptop screen It dosen’t go on stand by. It is supposed to go on stand by and lock my computer. I was wondering if there might have been something I missed when reinstalling my LCD please advise me.

The laptop goes into stand by mode because you activate the lid close switch when the display is closed.
It’s possible you messed up the lid close switch somehow while replacing the screen.
I don’t remember if this model has a magnetic switch.
With magnetic switch you have a small magnet installed somewhere inside the display panel and the lid close switch installed somewhere in the laptop base. When the display is closed, the magnet gets close to the switch and activates it.
It’s possible that you accidentally removed the small magnet from the display while replacing the screen. This is just a guess but I think your problem is related to the lid close switch.

Neamat Rashid,

My laptop is new But whenever i switched on my laptop..it shows stripes on display…

You’ll have to test your laptop with an external monitor attached to the VGA port on the laptop. Take a look at the external video output.
If stripes appear on both internal and external monitors, most likely this is the video card failure.
If stripes appear only on the internal screen and video on the external monitor displayed properly, most likely this is the LCD screen failure.

jerrold,

i saw ur link above that goes to ebay site and shows available lcd screen for dell xps 1530. I need to replace my screen since it fells down on the floor and had a crack. The current resolution i used is 1200 x 800. Do you think i will not have a problem if the screen that i will buy is of type wxga+ or wsxga, wuxga? or do i need to buy the same type like the one i used now.

I’m not sure 100% but a screen with different resolution might require a different video cable.
To be safe, buy the same type.
