LCD problem with Sony PCG-NV170

by melimar . Updated 19 years, 11 months ago

My LCD faded to white when I was emailing a friend. I tried rebooting, turn off for 10 min.’s and then booting up, Unplugging power chord and resetting system(bootm pin opening) and remvoing and reinstalling the battery and booting up. Opened the Lcd cover, check connections and nothing was loose. I hooked up the laptop to my desktop moniote(via 4 port switch). The system is working fine. While viewind on my desktop monitor, all of a sudden I got a visual on my laptop screen. It stood on for navigation for about 10 minutes. I shut down, disconnected it from 4 port swtich and re-booted. All White screen. Bottom line is that I took it to Comp USA and they say it’s the LCD. They opened the case to check connections and they were not loose. I also noticed that the laptop got pretty hot with 20 minutes of powering up. Can you please tell if it may be something other than a $400 dollar LCD?

Thank You,
Melinda
