Hi guys,
I’ve got a Compaq Evo N800, and the TFT screen has been on the fritz for awhile.
Firstly the screen became slightly dull with less color and blurry, but still relatively usable.
The other night I attempted to fix it as I heard sometimes the Screen Ribbon can be a bit loose.
After taking the entire screen apart and checking and testing, it is now worse.
The monitor is so flakey that lines will appear erratically and will sometimes cut the screen off completely, which in turn crashes the laptop.
Sometimes the screen will be fine, although dull, but as soon as you move the screen on it’s hinges it will start failing.
Is it a common problem that Screen Ribbon’s fail and need replacing? Or is it normally the Screen aswell?
There are a few parts on Ebay for Ribbons and Screen Invertors, do you think this may fix the problem?
I want to avoid buying a completely new laptop if I can help it.
Thanks alot guys!
