OS: windows XP professional
LAPTOP MODEL NUMBER: Sony Vaio PCG-FXA53
PICTURE OF PROBLEM: **broken link removed****broken link removed**
INFO: The screen on the laptop will turn on but its pure white and stays this way 24/7, As seen in the picture I am able to hook it up to an external monitor and it works fine, I can watch movies and play games with it, however when checking the screen resolution it only gives me 3 settings to choose from.
QUESTION: what is the problem with it, ive came to 1 (formerly 2) conclusion
1. the lcd inverter has gone bad
Im 99% confident in it being the LCD inverter, However id like to be 100% certain, is there any way to do this without having to buy a new inverter to test it on? maybe use a multimeter?
