Anyone good with repair laptops?

[kingfencer]

You know the cable on the mainboard that connects to the screen? is there any adapter i could buy to hook it up to a lcd monitor. the monitor on my laptop is cracked. And i can't switch to t.v mode even pressing the buttons, probally driver not installed propperly.

And is that cable used for other laptop monitors too? or i have to buy a dell monitor because that cable is made for dell laptops only?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yea. S-video (circle shape) or VGA :twisted:

From what I have seen, that is a proprietary cable, its not sending the video data in the same format that would be sent over a VGA cable, it would be in a line. I've never heard of an adapter that would do that. You'd have to use the VGA on the side of your laptop (if it has it, it should, but i've seen ones that dont)

my vga svideo cables are not sending the signals to my lcd mointor... i mean, if i could send the video to my tv, at least i could still use it...

pictures would really help ....

try phoning dell and scrounge around for dell replacement parts (lcd shouldn't be too much to replace if youre willing to spend the money...)

never heard of an adapter before...

Photos & Model number helps us figure out a solution...(there's no such thing as a Dell "specific" LCD-Laptop cable, VGA-VGA is universal).

If you're in Toronto I may lend a hand so PM me.
