Laptop Screen Goes Black - 2 Reasons for Black Laptop Screen Problems

One of the most common reasons why a laptop screen goes black is because of impact damage. This can happen when the laptop is accidentally dropped or bumped into.
  • Apart from a cracked screen & display chip damage, the whole monitor goes black and doesn't respond when turned on.
  • If the damage is superficial, you can get away with simple screen replacement... Get a replacement screen from Ebay and install it in place of your damaged laptop screen.
  • I've done this on laptops ranging from Dell, HP, Acer and Toshiba. Just make sure you get a screen that's compatible with the monitor size & cable connectors of your current laptop.
Another reason for laptop screen problems is a failed backlight bulb.
  • Think of the backlight as a thin fluorescent tubelight that powers up the monitor screen. Most backlight bulbs have a lifespan of 3, 5 or 7 years but you might notice the screen go dim & dark as early as 2-3 years.
  • A failing backlight can also give out a pinkish hue which means all the colors on your screen become pink.
Remember that just as your laptop screen goes black, it can also go white. Black screen is a sign of backlight failure while white screen indicates a loose connection between the video cable and the laptop screen.

Flickering Laptop Screen - How to Fix LCD Laptop Screen that Flickers Randomly

When a standalone LCD monitor flickers randomly, the problem is usually the backlight. When the same thing happens in a laptop, the cause is a defective ribbon connector cable.

Remember that in a laptop the display screen is separate from the main case that contains the keyboard, hard disk and other electronic parts.

The laptop screen is embedded into the lid of the laptop, and by constant opening and closing, the LCD ribbon connector cable gets worn out.

Once the damage sets in, the cable is unable to relay video signals properly, and so the screen images flicker randomly.

Luckily, there's an easy fix for this: Just replace the ribbon connector cable with a compatible part from an OEM manufacturer. It usually costs $15-20 and is far cheaper than replacing the whole screen.

White Laptop Screen - What causes a Laptop LCD Screen to turn Completely White?

There are 2 main reasons for a white laptop screen:
  1. A defective LCD screen or motherboard (where the graphics are integrated), or
  2. A loose connection between the video cable and the laptop screen.
Usually the reason is #2, which can be fixed by reconnecting the video cable. If not, then you'll need to replace the laptop screen.

To troubleshoot quickly & effectively, get a functioning LCD screen from another laptop. This will be useful in case you need to replace the screen of your defective laptop.
