Inspiron E1505 - Screen problem - follow up
Hello,
I have an Inspiron E1505 (The warranty expired 2 month ago) that is having video problems: Two weeks ago it started to to have a shadow on the left side of the screen. It stayed like that for 2 weeks. A few days ago it started doing a buzzing noise and the screen flickers. Then sometimes the screen turns completely dark. If I turn it into sleep mode and then upen the screen again the screen is lit for a few seconds and goes dark again.
After waiting for a day the screen works again. No shadow appears after booting, but after a few minutes I get the annoying shadow again. I'm waiting for the buzzing, flickering, going dark, shadow cycle again. :)
Anyway I can know what kind of problem I have?
Can it just be a loose connector? Inverter? Backlight? LCD?
Also, in this model, does the backlight come separate from the LCD?
Thanks in advance
Alejandro

- Thank you very much for your answer. One more question: I've been able to dissasemble the display, but not the keyboard. I've removed the screws as suggested in http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins6400/en/sm/keyboard.htm#wp1111863 But the keyboard is still attached somehow, I don't want to pull too hard. Any ideas? I need to do this to dislodge the display cables. Thanks in advance. Alex
