Hi,
I have a dell x200 . The lcd has suddenly gone all white.
So far I have done the following.
Checked the conections.
Changed the lcd.
Removed the lcd.
Put in a new (spare) lcd
Now with an external monitor I get an all black screen that shuts off after about two seconds. In the time of those two seconds I can clearly see a flashing prompt ( - ).
The screen seems to shut off as the laptop starts to read the cmos.
I have disasembled the entire laptop and still no change.
I have frozen the video chips with cool spray and still no change.
It apears to me that I have a corrupt bios or cmos but I cannot try to correct it because I can't see the d*m screen. Oh , I almost forgot, I just finished re installing winxp when all this happened. The laptop apears to run normally exept no video.
I would apresiate any constructive thoughts on this problem.
