I had it connected to a samsung lcd tv through the hdmi port to watch movies. Last week I connected the hdmi lead but the tv didn't detect a signal. So I tried a system reboot. The screen on the laptop lights up as in you can see the back light working but thats the limit to it. I then connected it to an external monitor and it work fine through there. I replaced the inverter still nothing. Like the guys here I removed the screen for easy access. I booted the machine up while it was still open, just so I could have a look at the back of the lcd screen. It appears the back light is working. so I have the laptop reassembled. When I boot up I can see very very faint horizontal black lines set against a charcoal grey screen. so I know it's not the inverter not sure if having the laptop connected to the tv through the hdmi has burnt something out. If anyone has any ideas as I am praying it's not the screen. really can't afford a new screen at the moment. Any help at all guys would be very much appreciated I have a Dell Inspiron 1525.

However I think that getting to the point where you can replace the inverter is half way there. These instructions might be similar to what you will need to do: http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2007/12/09/replace-laptop-backlight-ccfl-lamp/ Dennis, I wish I could help out more, but I have never replaced my backlight lamp before.

I have similar problems and have already replaced the inverter without curing my dark screen so I am now thinking about the backlight lamp itself. I understand this can be more difficult but have not been able to find instruction on how to do this. Do not wish to go at it blindly.Can you help please. Regards.

I ordered an inverter from Ebay. I followed your instructions and it was a breeze. I was ready to toss this laptop. Just for the heck of it I called a pc repair person and asked what he would charge to replace it for me. If I had the new inverter they would charge me $125. If I did not have the part they wanted $250. I am so glad I did this myself. Thanks again!! Thank you so much for this great information. I ordered an inverter from Ebay.

The initial instructions were very good and Monkey's comments allowed me to complete the fix (I could not take the inverter frame out). It cost me just $5 to get a new inverter from eBay and about 1hour to get my laptop up again. Thank you all for your help.
