My powered USB port on my Dell Latitude D410 shorted out. Can this be repaired/replaced?

You will have to take the machine apart somewhat, or at least to the point of being able to disconnect and remove the usb port. Here's a link to the D600 service manual download. It will guide you through the breakdown process.

Good Evening:


Hope that you are wellJ

• There appears to be a shortage in one of your lines to you computer. But, before you replace anything, try these methods.

• Shut down the computer.

• Remove any CDs, DVDs or external storage devices (like USB keys or external hard drives) from the computer, if any are present, then press the power button to turn the computer on.

• Press and hold the <F8> key as your computer starts. You need to press <F8> before the Windows logo appears.

• If the Windows logo appears, and the system still fails to boot to Windows, shut down the computer and try again.

• From the Advanced Boot Options menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair Your Computer, then press <ENTER>.

• Click to select your language, and then click NEXT.

• Log in as a user with administrative rights, and click OK.

• From the Choose a recovery tool menu, click Startup Repair .
• Once completed, click FINISH.
• Click RESTART.

Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is the backlight.

If you see a very dim image or flicking image on the LCD screen it means you have a backlight problem.

Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

SOURCE: dell latitude D610. Screen goes black. External Monitor OK.

Make sure you have not accidentally used the FN+F5 key
That combination sets the laptop to use an external display.

If using that does not give you a display take a small torch (flashlight if in USA) and shine it at an angle on the laptop screen.
If you can see any sort of picture you would be looking at replacement of some minor parts to the laptop screen

Hope this gives you the information you need. If not add any extra information you may have and lets see if we can FixYa
