Hi All
I have an Inspiron 1545 with the dreaded dark screen issue.
Before I found this forum I have changed the inverter and the motherboard (because I fried the original trying to remove the F1 fuse) all to no avail.
I changed the motherboard first and the screen worked again very briefly (about 30 minutes) before going dark again and hasn't worked since.
I have checked for continuity in the F1 fuse and all seems fine. There seems to be power (about 0.05 volts) from the inverter.
My question is - Is this more likely to be the screen or the cable? My instincts tell me cable but I wondered what other people thought before I spend any more money!
Thanks
Scott
