problem with Acer Aspire 5610 LCD backlight

by baigsvecis Nov 4, 2009 10:05PM PST

Hi!
May be someone can help me.
I have Acer Aspire 5610. Problem is connected with LCD display's backlight - it doesn't function. From forums I got to know that 99,9% is damaged LCD invertor. I found it in ebay, replaced damaged, but there was another surprise. Monitor backlight was in dark dull red, slightly blinked, and after about 2 minutes it turned off again. And more - when backlight was on, there was some strange, silent crackling sound, coming from inverter. Where else can I check to solve this problem?

Thanks!

At the top posts called sticky posts. There is some material there for you about this. There are all of 3 parts not including cables in play so let's never assume the inverter board is good. The red shift is known when the CCFL tubes are old or damaged. I can't see the display to call it but at least the red shift is known.

Good luck,
Bob

Thank You for response! As I am not professional laptop technician, I just wanted some confirmation that my diagnosis is right. I am going to order a new lamp in ebay right now.
