Cracked LCD screen, now no start
We recently replaced a cracked lcd on an Asus x83v laptop. The laptop would boot and you could see where it displayed correctly in some area's of the screen and whacked out near the crack.
So we replaced the screen with a new one and poof, one of the components on the back of the lcd popped leaving a scorched mark and now the laptop will not power up. There is no response when pushing power button at all. Even after putting old screen in. Any ideas?

Thank you for the responses. Here are the things we've tried after the event. Try to start with battery, and ps, without battery and ps, battery only, external monitor, original screen attached, no screen, popped screen. Laptop remains to have no response at all when pushing the power button. The weird thing is that when we installed the new screen, it lit up! The laptop was not on (of course) and it might have been plugged in, I don't remember, but when we hooked up the ribbon and inverter, the back light lit up. Sorry for not explaining this in the beginning.. my tech just told me about this. Is it possible there was a short in the new lcd that made it light up when not on and pop when powered up?
"The laptop was not on (of course) and it might have been plugged in, I don't remember, but when we hooked up the ribbon and inverter, the back light lit up."
If it lit up when the ribbon and cable were plugged back in, then the power adapter was probably plugged in or the battery was still installed. It could also have been static, which would cause the screen to 'light up' for just a split second and probably short out. Any one of those things could have blown the mother board out.
Thanks!

The new screen lit up when the laptop wasn't turned on, and stay lit. It didn't just flash... Also, we did try an external monitor with the lcd not plugged in. No response from power button. completely dead.
I'm pretty sure the Motherboard is dead, just not sure how a new lcd screen might have caused it.

Compfixer101, I was waiting for a response to my last comment. I will close.
Try another power supply or (if the battery has charge) try to turn it on with the battery only.
Have you tried removing the display and turning the laptop on without it? If you can turn it on without the display, you can use an external monitor.
Thanks!
