My Lenovo T61 backlight is not comming on.
Hey all, I have been struggling to fix my Lenovo T61. One day the back-light stopped working. I experienced no warnings, it just happened. I replaced the inverter with no luck. I then replaced the whole LCD panel to still have the same problem. I checked the motherboard for any loose connections but everything looks ok. When I turn on the computer I can faintly make out whats on the screen but it is very dark. I look forward to some advice, Thank you!

The old and new LCD panels work the same. Getting a new LCD did not change anything. Sorry I should have mentioned that I can use the computer fine with the video out-plug. It is the only was i can still use the computer.

Thank you, Ill weigh the options of fixing it or not.
Thank you and good luck with either fixing the T61 or replacing it. Mine still serves as a spare.
I have a T61p in the basement. That computer has a video output. Plug in an external monitor. Does the external monitor work?
