    It may be the video board.

    Hook up an external monitor and see it you get the same results on it.

Hi i have a dull screen on my dell inspiron 6000. i have replaced the inverter and replaced the backlight but still dull. is there anything else i can do?

Maybe your problem was the Video Card. Did you try an external monitor before you replaced the inverter and backlight? Try an external monitor and if it does the same thing then the Video Card is bad.

When I turn on my dell inspiron 1526 the screen stays black, you can hear the fan start, but it does not boot up

Try plugging a monitor into the VGA port on the back. If that works, then it's your LCD screen. If it doesn't then it's most likely your video card or your motherboard.

Can my Inspiron 6000 (not D) upgrade from Intel GMA 900 to ATI Mobility Radeon X300? If so, can I get the 128mb cache or do I need the 64mb cache?

The only way to upgrade the video is to replace the motherboard. The ATI solution requires a different motherboard than the Intel and has a Video Card that attaches to the motherboard.

Generally, not worth the cost nor the effort.

I think I need to replace the video card on my Dell Inspirion 6000. Is this possible without huge expense. I am not 100% sure replacing the video card will make the laptop work but the screen is blank and...

If the system has ATI Video, then there is a discrete video card that can be replaced. If the video is Intel Integrated, then you will need to replace the motherboard.

Video cards available on Ebay

Half a Screen

Check first by connecting it to an external monitor. If you see that it is the same problem in the external monitor then I think there is something wrong with your video card. See if you can re seat the video card.

This issues also come from the cable that connects the LCD with the motherboard. Have you opened the Laptop anytime and moved the cable?

Check these first. It sounds something loose or a something related to video card.
