Hi all, i have the above laptop and the screen has stoped working!

Altho i can still see my laptop is working properly because if i hold up to the light i can see all me stuff etc still working!
I was told it could be the inverter, so i took it to a shop to get fixed, however guy at shop tells me he has tried an inverter and it made no difference and it needs a whole new screen!
Is he correct (thought i would see nothing it was the screen)???

Regards
Sparky

once connected it should just recognise it and start working, well did for me anyway. just make sure the amount of pins is the same on the connection of the cable and lcd.
