How can I tell if its the inverter or the backlight bulb that needs replacing?

why on earth would there be a need to screw those screws in so stinkin’ tight? I got two out, but the others won’t budge. I have tried the rubber band thing and no go. This is hopeless.

Thank you so much for clear and concise instructions.

My laptop’s screen would sometimes flicker, hiss (at full brightness) and gradually get darker on the left side. I replaced the inverter using your guide and it appears to have fixed the issue.

Thanks again.

I want to thank you profusely for unimaginably clear, well explained, and detailed instructions. All I needed to do was change out the inverter board, and it all worked again.
A thousand times thank you.

In reply to Gandolfo. @ Candolfo, Most likely it happens because your new screen doesn't match your original inverter. In Dell laptops they have to match. That's why when I buy a new replacement screen for Dell laptops I always look for a compatible part or one that comes with the inverter.

Hello,
Firstly I would like to thank you for this fantastic manual. I have changed the LCD screen of my XPS M1530 (WXGA+, CCFL True Life) following it without any problem, but right now I can’t change brightness from screen properties or in NVIDA panel control.

I had to make some “manual modifications” in order to adapt the new screen to the old one assembly, because they were not extrictly equals. I had to remove the lcd assembly from the new one, and install that lcd in the assembly attached to the original, in order to save the support for the inverter.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I have a xps m1530. The lcd is fine but the backlighting is starting to go bad. one side of the screen is dimmer than the other. Can you give directions on how to replace the inverter and backlight?
