Backlight not working on replacement LED Screen Toshiba Portege z835

I also read about fuses for the back light on spme laptops TVeblen. I have another z830 that I ran over previously that is already in bits (long story....) so I had a look at that where it all hooks up to the m/b. I couldn't see anything marked f1 for a fuse. Of course there still might be a fuse that is just marked differently. I will definitely take it down to a repair shop to at least get it looked at kslip so I will let you know how it goes. If they quote me more than $200 chances are I will just have a very expensive media player for the lounge room since it works fine through HDMI.

Thanks for the replies.

Just a quick update. I took both my screens to the place I bought the new screen from and they both worked ok (except for the massive crack in the old one). This means that something must have happened to the motherboard when replacing the screen. I also replaced the screen cable, but no change. I rang toshiba service and they mentioned that even with power off the screen can short out the motherboard, the battery should be completely removed before changing. This is a mission in itself for this model given that it is built in.... I have seen you tube clips where the screen has been replced without removing the battery, so maybe we just got unlucky kslip
I got a price of about $560 to replace the motherboard, so I am not sure if I will get it repaired yet but that seems to be the only solution the tech had.

Did anyone figure this out?

I have the same problem with a Toshiba Z835-330. Bent the screen so that a portion of it was not working but the rest was, put in a replacement and when I got done no picture. I put the old screen back in and no picture on that either. I can connect the laptop to a monitor and everything works fine if I use the monitor.

I followed the directions on a video posted on one of the laptop screen replacement sites. They showed someone using a small screwdriver to carefully pry the screen connector apart. Even though my laptop was not plugged in, I noticed a small spark/flash when I touched the connector with a screwdriver to gently pry it apart.

I called toshiba and they want $120 just to look at it. Their website says a new motherboard is $400 and a new screen is $400, so if both are required, no sense in repairing the laptop.

Any help?

I wonder if the screen replacement would have gone ok if I had not used something metal to pry the connector apart. If so, I wish the company who had the self help video on their website would have included that little tid-bit in the video!

I have just experienced this problem, would anyone here be able to tell me what the quick fix was? Thanks guys!
