Dell Inspiron Screen Shake

I HAD HE SAME PROBLEM
IT SEEMS YOUR HARD DRIVE IS DEAD
NOW ORDER A NEW SATA HARD DRIVE AND REINSTALL THE WINDOW
IT WORKS

Hello,
If your screen is dim but still displays everything then please check if the screen's brightness has not been accidentally reduced. If that is okay, then you have a damaged screen inverter and it needs to be changed. If the screen does not display at all, then you may have to change your screen.

All the best.

The screen cable is most likely damaged. Try connecting an external monitor. If it works, you need to take the computer to a repair center to have the cable changed.

Sorry to hear about your laptop. As far as what you have described, it seem that what you are having is already a hardware issue. The best way to test is to go into the bios or system setup screen. Since you are using a dell computer the best thing to do is to test first. Restart the computer and when you see the Dell logo start tapping the F2 key on the keyboard. From there see if you will still get the same issue with the screen. If you do the best thing to do is to recall if you still have a Hardware Warranty. If you do.. better to call up the Hardware technical support department and get your laptop fixed (If you have hardware warranty then they will support you without any fee). If not Dell has an expired warranty support department however for the diagnostics you will be asked for a fee and most likely asked to purchase a part and have that computer sent for repairs (again for a fee.). If when you are in the bios / system setup screen and you are not having the same issue then that is a good sign. The best thing to do is to backup everything.. your documents and so on.. make sure that you have all the CDs that came with the system. Now you could do either a PC restore or Operating System Reinstallation after you have backed up your files... If you do not have an active hardware warranty. I think it is best to tell your mom to get that fixed.

I have a Inspiron 530 when I turn on it you can see that everything start ok but before I type my password everyting turn black an the only you can see is the litlle white arrow of the computer mouse

If you replaced the inverter board and its still dark you need and new backlight itself http://cgi.ebay.com/LCD-Backlight-Lamp-for-Dell-Inspiron-9100-15-4-WXGA_W0QQitemZ150217509448QQcmdZViewItem

Could be that the monitor is going out, but it sounds more like a connector has worked loose or corroded and isn't making a good contact. Check and clean the screen connection, screen to inverter, and screen to motherboard.

Try ajustiong the resolution and advanced settings.

Hi,
The easiest solution is remove the hinge cover and check if the LCD cable got cut.
