Acer 3935 Laptop Screen Problem

    Hi Guys,

    Have an ACER Aspire 3935 Laptop, see here for details:
    http://www.trustedreviews.com/Acer-Aspire-3935-744G25Mn---13-3in-Laptop-review

    Fitted an SSD drive and installed win 8 recently which worked fine but then the screen decided not to work. Its an LED type screen. Its a damn shame because with the SSD drive it really flys and is a nice laptop. There is no sign of life at all from the display its completely dead.:mad:

    I'm currently using an external Monitor to work with it.
    Have tried the following steps:
    - Checked the screen properties and can't get an output to the display to work.
    - Tried the 'Fn + F5 buttons to change the output.
    - Completely dismantled the machine and re-seated every cable/connection.
    - Checked all cables for signs of damage, nothing visible.

    I have a question, when you open the lid of a laptop how does the screen get activated? Is there some sort of switch on it? If there is maybe this is faulty?

    What are my options?

    Thanks Guys.
    Kavs.

    sounds like it could be something to do with the ssd and sleep mode have read people having problems with it before did you try putting the old hard drive back in , on most laptops there is a magnet behide the bezel (screen surround) sometimes around the webcam as far as i know the magnet acts as a switch.

    ,don't think that's it, screen did work for a time with the new SSD, currently its working perfectly with an external monitor plugged in with the lid either open or closed.

    You could be on to something about a magnet in the bezel, maybe I moved something in the chassis (metal) when I opened it up?

    Try this Unplug the power, remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds. Then reattach the power and attempt a boot worth a try.
