@ THOMAS KELLY,

the roll arm between laptop bottom and screen the screws just drop out any way to fix left hand side of screen when looking at screen. tried locktight did not work .. Inspiron 6000 laptop

Not sure if you are talking about securing the left hinge, but look at this service manual for Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop.
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins6000/en/sm/index.htm
On the Display Assembly and Display Latch you can see where display hinge screws are located.
The manual also has step by step laptop disassembly instructions.

Have not replaced my LCD yet, but pulled it apart and reset the connectors hoping that might solve my vertical 34mm blue bar (can see things on it, just colors not right). It didn’t but it was nice having this guide to convince me I could tear it down and put it back together with confidence. Thanks.

Has anyone had any problems with the tiny screw that the inverter board is mounted to? I’ve tried multiple bits but can’t find a screw driver with a bit small enough to unscrew it.

My Inspiron 6000 laptop’s screen is dark, i managed to get to the settings by flashing a light at the screen and enabled external monitor. With external monitor video is ok.

Now, the question is should i replace the inverter or screen? I have oscilloscopes at work so please advise what signals to look for to identify if the issue is with inverter or screen.

thanks.

My Dell Inspiron 6000 has lost the bottom third of the screen – it shows vertical lines all the way across and none of the icons or cursor can be seen in this portion of the screen.

But when I press the screen it works? Hardly ideal though!

Any ideas?

Thanks!

My monitor went black yesterday. I can barely see the outline of what’s on the screen, however, it’s way too dim to even see the cursor. When I hook the computer up to an external monitor, everything works fine.

Should I try replacing the entire screen or just the inverter board? Thanks for the help!

Disregard my previous comment, I got it working.

Had an inspiron 6000 brought to me that didn’t display anything on the screen, though worked via VGA. The built-in diagnostic from the boot menu returned a communication problem with the inverter. I replaced the board with one from ebay (listed as compatible with the 15.4″ panel), and it still has the same problem. Diagnostic throws error 1000-0322 on the inverter, but the LCD comm check passes. Nothing on the LCD, and the CRT/LCD button refuses to push signal to the LCD.

Sounds to me like there’s something wrong with the mobo (the hard disk got all screwed up at the same time; partition corrupted, lots of bad sectors). Before i condemn it though, if you have any ideas I’d appreciate your input.

Thanks for the great info on your site, as well as any hints you might have.

@ Lori,

I have four colored thin lines on my screen. I have an extra Dell 6000 laptop for parts. Do I just need to replace the inverter or the entire screen?

This is not inverter related problem. Most likely this is failed LCD screen.
If you have another similar Dell laptop for parts, just replace the entire LCD assembly (LCD screen with inverter).
