Lid switch shorting somewhere. In this model there is no pin that I can ses. But after removing bezel it flickers but I need the location of the lid switch to check. When opening lid slowly it sometimes comes on then off about half way. With it on and moving it slightly it comes on very bright. Please help.

dissconnect negitive battery terminal, open dirvers and passenger doors.remove dash end caps then use a pry stick or screwdriver and pry out left and right A pillar trim panels. next is to remove the bezel, lift up on the outter bottom edges of top bezel and along rearward edge of top cover top disengage clips, pull top cover rearward intil pins disengage from instrument panel and then remove from dash, next is to remove the cluster bezel and then the top and bottom steering column covers, the next step is to remove the screws holding the switch. then the connectors to switch.lift switch straight up and remove. to install reverse removal procedure. heres a diagram to help you understand the covers and bezels locations. hope this helps good day.

Check out www.insidemylaptop.com for pictures but if you remove the four rubber bungs in the corners of the display bezel and then remove the screws, the front bezel will come away from the screen allowing access to the wires. I suspect there is a plug hanging out.
Hope that helps.

The inverter is located behind the bezel at the bottom of the screen/lid and in between the hinges.
The bezel has screws that fixes it to the lid and these can be hidden by stick-on plastic covers. Use a thin sharp point to lift these plastic covers off to reveal the screws. Remove these screws.
The bezel has small plastic catches that clips it to the lid and may also be fixed to the LCD screen with double sided tape. Use a thin blade and insert it between the LCD screen and the bezel and gently ease the bezel off. Start at the bottom of the screen and gradually work along the edge and continue around each side to free the bezel.
Be CAREFUL not to scratch the LCD screen and DO NOT apply too much pressure to the face of the LCD screen because you can crack the glass surface and ruin the LCD screen.
Once the bezel is removed then you can get access to the inverter to remove it.

I have a CQ60-220US HP Compaq and access to the LCD screen was different than others I have disassembled and replaced the display. The bezel is snapped on, the lid does not lay back flat to access the two hinge screws, but there are 2 screws with rubber covers down by the hinges, not all the way around.

I used a right angle phillips screw driver and was able to remove the bottom screws, popped off the bezel the remainder of the way around the screen, it is different, but don't be fooled there are a few screws just not the amount you might be used to, and then gaining access to one of the hinge screws on each side can be an issue as the lid did not lay back flat, but with a good right angle screw driver you can get it done, I did. I am not sure if the proper method is to not just remove the entire top cover and hinges, but the right angle screw driver and finding that this model had only a couple bezel screws made it much easier to tackle.

the inverter is located unerneath the monitor ( lid ), behind the bezel ( plastic cover that surrounds the screen ) unscrew the front cover and you can't miss the inverter its an elongated circuit board, just disconnect it and replace. You may have to take the lid off to get to the inverted depending on the bezel type
hope this helps

The model number should be located around the tub opening somewhere. The part you are describing sounds like the lid strike and/or lid switch. If you can doublecheck and provide me with a model number, I can locate the parts for you. If you wish to repair this yourself I have step-by-step instructions at the following link:

The lid switch usually costs about $25, while the lid strike costs about $10. A repair of about $35 may change your mind about buying a new one. I hope this helps you. Post back if you have further questions, or need more assistance.

HP DV 5000 LID switch location is here:


If You want test lid switch, just connect A+B together for a monent!
If the monitor flashes on...? Lid switch is faulty.
It is too dificult to change the lid switch, so the easiest way is connect these pins together forever. :))

Dont forget to turn off your notebook... he wont sleep anymore ;))

Good morning, Chase!
I'm not familiar with that particular model, but will try to help. Most laptops have a switch that is activated when you close the lid. These switches are normally located somewhere around the hinges. What you are looking for may be a small area (1/8"x 1/8" or smaller) that has a pad, or something, that can be depressed. That pad may be level with the surface, or located down in a depression or hole. It may be square, round "D" shaped or whatever. One hint is to look for a projection of some type that is normally located somewhere on the bottom part of the LCD bezel and that projection will activate the switch. I have seen them mounted on the lower outer edge of the lid, but that is usually found only on older units. And yes, it can be interesting to find some of them. ut, rest assured that it is there, somewhere..
I realize that this is kind of generic, but hopefully will be of some help.

One of four things possible, bad lcd bulb, bad inverter that powers the bulb, or bad mainboard that powers the inverter (rare problem).... and sometimes, bad lcd cable, also rare.

To test, you need a good bulb to plug into this inverter and see if it lights. If it doesn't, then your problem is most likely a bad inverter board. Simply shop online somewhere like eBay to find a replacement. Generally they cost around $30 USD shipped. And you can find it located in the lid, at the bottom of the lcd. You will need to remove any screws in the plastic bezels and carefully pop the bezel off to gain access to it.

 

One other thing I should mention, I have seen some laptops that have an lcd cutoff switch, or hibernate switch. When you close the lids, its will either put the laptop into a standby state, or it will simply turn the backlight off on the lcd. I've seen those switches get stuck. Note - not all laptops have them.

Check your lid switch. This is a tell tale symptom of a lid switch gone bad. The washer fills, agitates, but will not spin or drain. The lid switch is located along the right hand side of the lid opening on most models, but some newer models have a switch in the left rear of the lid. Simply open and shut the lid several times and listen for a distinctive "click" of the lid switch as you open and close the lid. A lid switch usually runs about $35 to replace. If you provide me with your washer model number (usually located under the lid somewhere) I can give you the part number you need. That is...if the lid switch is the problem. The only other problem that I have encountered that caused the same symptoms, was a bad timer. Timer vs Lid Switch: Lid switch is a cheaper fix. I would try this option first. Let me know if this helps and/or if you need more guidance.
