T500 LCD screen Issues

[karra234]

Hello Experts,

This is my first post... I have a lenovo T500 and its screen got shattered over a week ago.. Hence, I replaced it with a new one but I see nothing happening on the LCD (Still dark - no signals or text)... When connected via VGA to my LCD TV, it just comes up fine.. BIOS is default factory setting..

 Any Ideas or suggestions on how to fix this issue or what is wrong..

Thanks,

is this a generic compatible LCD that you got from online stores?

Have you tried to plug back the old broken LCD, does anything appear on that?

No its not generic.. Its T500 LCD screen from a broken laptop.. I see the same issue when I connect the broken one too..

what sort of LCD do you have? LED or CCFL backlight LCD? Do you see any faint image appering on the LCD?

I have the following in my PO:

44C1924 **  SBB 15.4 WSXGA+ TFT   

44C1921 SBB ATIMOBRADEON3650WITH256MB  

This is the replacement I purchased:

I don't see anything on the LCD.. Just some brightness on the screen... But when I connect via VGA, everything looks great!

Sometimes, when you break a screen, you can blow a fuse on the motherboard.

Does it mean, I have to replace the motherboard?

Go into your bios menu, find the graphics option, there should be an option for discrete and integrated gpu, switch to integrated gpu. See whether that helps.
