Dell Inspiron N5110 no display

Hi Tryandtry,

This could be a faulty LCD or an LCD cable. Kindly provide me the system service tag through a private message so that I can check the system details and advice further.

I have added you as a friend. Please accept my friend request by clicking on my name highlighted in blue and then click on “Friends” tab at the top and then click on “Request to Review” and finally click on “Accept” button.

I am sending you a private message as well. Click on “Inbox” to respond to the message and provide system’s Service Tag so I may check the region/country from where the system was purchased and assist you accordingly. You could also click on Start Conversation to send a private message.

Sorry, I disagree with you.  If LCD or LCD is faulty, my screen test should show nothing as well.  I am thinking more towards the inverter or the lid close switch.  Do you know where the lid close switch is?

Thanks.

Hi Tryandtry ,

Only few Dell models have a separate part number for the LCD inverter and this model does not have a separate part number ,it is a part of the LCD.

Kindly find the below link which has instructions on LCD panel removal.

If that is the case, the LCD panel was just replaced, so it should not be the inverter problem then.

Thanks.

BTW, my computer does not respond to the close lid/shut off.  So could it be the magnet problem?

Hello, I have an Inspiron N5110 also and the screen backlight is off. 

Since the inverter is part of the LCD the problem may be the cable or the same LCD.

How do you know which one is the culprit?

I am having this same issue ... I'm not sure what to do as I have replaced the screen and have the same issue (I can see the images of the desktop but it is not lit up - if I plug in to an external monitor, it works fine (the external monitor, not the laptop monitor). .. so what could it be now?  Is it the cable?

Did you ever fix this?  I have replaced the screen and the cable - still nothing.  I am thinking it may be the switch but don't see how to "correct" the issue ...

Hi callyon,

May I know if you are getting display on the external monitor? Run diagnostics by Pressing FN + power button and check if there is any error message.

If there is no display with replaced monitor & cable, the issue could be with the video card or motherboard. If the system is out of warranty, let me know the region you belong to, I will check the options to get the system serviced for a charge.

Awaiting your reply.

External display is working no issues at all ... the laptop screen is not.  No issues found when running the diagnostics that you mention.

I have already replaced the motherboard (that was what I initially replaced) - once it was replaced the screen didn't work after.  I have already checked the cables and all are soundly placed (multiple times).  Also replaced the screen then the cable - still nothing.

I've seen on here about the lid issue but no one seems to say anything about it after - just "where is the magnet" - I know where that is but I have no idea what to do about it...

Hi Callyon,

Thank you for the update.

In this scenario, I suggest that you get it checked by a technician. You may try with a local technician or let me know the region, I will check the options to get it serviced.
