MY DELL MINI 910 ERROR 08673

If your laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LEDflashes, then the problem is probably a back light fault. This can be a faultyinverter or a faulty CCFL lamp. Please click on this link and follow myinstructions to identify the fault and possible fix :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3598095-faulty_laptop_lcd_screen

I'd check the ext. monitor port for bent pins, or possibly even a broken pin - if it's bent you can probably straighten it out (very carefully using tweezers),; if it's broken then it's toast - that's pobably why you ain't getting a signal on the external.

The 2nd hand screen is either no good or improperly installed or it might not be compatible (I've seen incompatible screens where the brightness control adjustments are just ... reversed - i.e. dim means brighter, and brighter means dimmer). eBay is a pretty good source for these things (used, original stuff) so I'd check there if I still have access to the original screen (the cracked one). Check under Samsung N130 and you should see plenty of screens that are being parted out...

Try attaching an external monitor to the laptop & see if you could get any display on it. If this is successful, then you might have either a faulty LCD cable or screen inverter board.
The LCD cable transfers data signal from the motherboard & video card to the LCD screen. It also supplies high voltage DC power to the screen inverter board. The screen inverter board works as a power supply for the backlight lamp mounted inside the LCD screen. It converts low voltage DC power to high voltage AC power needed for the backlight lamp

adapter should be fine..if light comes on adapter should be good...leave battery out of the system...just use adapter and when starting system up tap f12...see if u can see this menu..if not try a external monitor to see if u can get a image..if so run the diagnostic..if still no image or no external monitor it may be a mb

Try re-installing the video drivers.

make sure there are no speakers at the side of the monitor as the may not be sheilded. then unplug monitor from the mains and plug back in to reset. or in the monitor menu select degauze .

click your "fn" key and then press the brightness key on the keyboard (it will be a blue or green "sun")
If this does not work, plug an external monitor to the laptop, if the screen is good on the monitor, your LCD display panel is shot.
