Sony Vaio colours on screen inverted and dark. I

Sony Vaio colours on screen inverted and dark. I switched it on and and the colours had changed. Even the start vaio screen is inverted before windows launches. I tried the control panel colour collaboration and any themes that i may have changed but it wasn't those. I also tried Cntl Alt and i which made the colours closer to how they are supposed to be, but the screen is still too drk to use properly - the brightness up high btw. Any suggestions?

SOURCE: LCD screen displays everything in inverted colours

Do Rick's 1st solution of trying the external monitor.

If thats messed up too then it's software. (Windows, drivers, settings, etc)

If the monitors fine then you've got problems send it to an expert at that point.

SOURCE: my sony vaio vgn-n365e screen is Dim

The fault could be a faulty CCFL lamp or inverter.
To determine if you have a LCD screen, inverter or video card problem, read this and follow these instructions.
Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom: Screen flashs on red/pink and off. Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal. Picture flickering with dim display or appear black. Picture flickering on and off. All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp.
Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power the monitor up first then the laptop, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight. 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.

I have a vaio PCG-61313L, i replaced the screen because it was broken, when i test the new screen, i got no backlight, i try to replace it with the old one but got the same problem, backlight was gone....

Hello,

The problem is not with the screen. If you turn on your laptop in a dark room and you put a flashlight on your screen, you will get a very faint display. The problem seems to lying with the inverter.

The inverter is a electrical device which 'backlits' the LCD and gives the display. Without the inverter and the bulbs it powers, the screen would be too faint to be seen.

To test if the inverter is defective, just turn on your laptop in a dark space, then put a flashlight on the screen to see if you have a fainted display. If you can see something, it is the inverter which is defective and should be replaced.

If you are handy, you can also remove the screen cover to see if there is a neon like light which lits up behind the LCD. If you can see the light, it means that the inverter is just working fine and that the is with the LCD itself.

Replacing the inverter:

1. After removing the screen 'cover', locate a small circuit board (usually below the LCD). Unplug the electrical cables and replace.

In your case, as the LCD has been replaced, check if the cables are well connected to both ends of the inverter. If the cables are well connected, consider replacing the inverter.

SONY VAIO PCG FRV27 I power on the laptop and the screen shows up but its very dark i adjusted contrast but it is not very visible

Diagnosis:
1. Test using an external monitor. If it works, then either the screen bulb or the inverter board might be defective.
2. Test the inverter. Easiest way to do it if you have a good screen with a good bulb. Connect the good screen to the inverter board & test it. If it lights up, then the inverter board is good. If it did not, then the inverter board is bad & needs to be replaced.
3. If the inverter board is good, then we are left with the possibility that the screen bulb is bad. To fix this, we will need to replace the LCD screen
