The display of my laptop, a Dell inspiron 1545 PP41L, all of a sudden didn't show any picture anymore. But it does give of light, but everything is black.
What I was doing: Trying to restore the MBR.
What does work: External screens, like TV's or PC screens, even via VGA. I would assume it's truly broken, but it does emit light. Kind of like one's phone does, just before one turns it off.
What I tried Using the hotkey to switch between laptop-display mode, external monitor mode, and dual laptop+external monitor mode. It's actually only in dual mode that I see this "black light", in "external monitor"-mode the laptop display is completely off.
Now I am reading about the inverter that might be broken, but also about someone who replaced it, but that it didn't work. How can I be reasonably certain (or rather, 100%) that is IS the inverter that is the problem?
And what is the exact professional/industrial name for this inverter, what term do I use to order one?
