Thanks for the instructions mate.
I had to take apart an Inspiron 6400 and it was the same as described.

Thanks! I have 2 of these and the LCD went bad one one years ago. Kids use these now and when the ‘d’ key stopped working on one, I almost went out to buy new cheap laptops. Saw this and wanted to say thanks!

Thanks for the very helpful tutorial, there’s no way I would’ve felt brave enough to repair my lcd without it.

I just finally managed to remove the inverter and OMFG! was it a b%@#! to remove. First, the screw holding the inverter to the bracket was nearly impossible to unscrew. Even after finding the best screwdriver for the job I couldn’t get it to budge and was afraid I was stripping the screw. Finally I gave up on that and used needle nose pliers on the opposite site of the screw to grab it an twist it up, which thankfully worked. I wanted to throw the screw and stomp on it after that for giving me all that trouble. I thought the hard part was over, until I tried to remove the inverter from the bracket. After prying and tugging and thinking I was going to break the damned thing I got it out and realized there was double sided sticky tape holding it in there, keeping it from gingerly sliding out. Phew!

In reply to THOMAS KELLY. @ THOMAS KELLY, 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!
