Armada M700 blank screen
The laptop was given to me and the screen has never worked. The 15pin
VGA though works fine. Anyone ever had to fix the video chip? Any insight or info would be appreciated. Thanks. bigsley |

Thanks. bigsley On a laptop the wiring between base unit and screen flexes across the lid hinge. Suggest you look for a faulty wire(s) in that area first. |

Ok. Reseated the display wires and turned it on. The screen comes on,
but appears reddish, then goes blank after ~20 seconds. There didnt appear to be any damage inside that I could see. The graphics chip should be ok I would think if the VGA display was good. Could it be the wire that connects to the screen? Or possible the screen itself? Thanks for your help. bigsley On 12 Oct 2004 09:57:34 GMT, Frank le Spikkin wrote: bigsley bigsley wrote in : The laptop was given to me and the screen has never worked.
