HP DV1000 - Dim LCD
This was a challenging dog of a repair , but after too many hours I had to give it up. Items checked, replaced or repaired. LCD cable - replaced LCD connector - replace and repaired Invertor - checked backlight - checked LCD - checked Lid Switch - checked The LCD was first checked with a known complete lid from another DV1000, the unit still showed same result. So backing up checked the LCD connector first. noticed connector had internal damage -replaced (same problem) noticed motherboard pin 29 was also blown off motherboard - repaired (same problem) lid switch check for open/close continuity - passed backlight - passed The conclusion is that that motherboard damage was greater than initially reported or known. Previous tech had made some minor mistakes, but nothing serious.
