Hey,
So I’m new here and a little desperate so please bare with me while reading this.
For ease of reading, basic problem is I boot the laptop and the screen doesn’t work, stays off while the laptop runs, whatever, you get the idea.
History behind it; my laptop is a dell inspiron 1546 and a couple days ago I sleepily closed it too hard and cracked the screen, or so I guess, I woke up to a cracked laptop screen. But anyway, after realising it was out of warranty I opened it up and ordered a new screen. Yesterday that screen came and when I installed the new screen it didn’t work. Bad times. I checked with the old screen again and hat didn’t work either. However I left for a bit while I went off and did some research, came back and tried again with the old screen and it worked so I put the new one in. All good. The day after, today, I boot my laptop to a dark screen. No display, same as yesterday. So I take it bits again and remove the screen trying to figure out whats wrong and go away and research come back a half hour or so later try it again and it works.
However, I had to reboot my laptop due to updates and the screen wouldn’t come back on and can’t seem to get it to come back on for the life of me.
Any help hugely appreciated. I’m a student who starts my second year of uni next Tuesday and I really need a working laptop for it. I’m also kinda broke.
Cheers
