Hi! my pa 3553 monitor is just blank when i switch on the laptop. i tried inserting the repair disk but couldn't do anything since i cannot see anything on the screen. this is the first time i'm having this problem, i've been using the laptop for just over a year. cheers!

Hi, Sounds either a backlight problem (inverter or tube light) or the display interface. Since you have confirmed that it is your LCD monitor, your best bet perhaps is to seek the services of a qualified professional. Should you venture in doing it yourself (DIY), You need to open up the casing. A step by step procedure is better illustrated here . The working principles of notebook/laptop displays are nearly identical to your LCD. Hope this be of some help. Post back how things turned up or should you need further information. Good luck and kind regards.

SOURCE: Monitor displays breifly then goes to blank screen

The green power light indicates that the monitor is receiving from the computer correctly. I suspect it is going into high voltage shutdown. There is a safety circuit that monitors the high voltage and shuts the monitor down if it sees anything amiss. So the monitor comes on and then shuts off. High voltage problems are generally not worth trying to repair. Another example of a worthless safety feature. High voltage failures are not dangerous, and adding the safety circuit just kills the unit when it may have some life left or worse, sometimes it is the shutdown circuit itself which fails!
Hope this helps.

sounds like your video card went out simple check of this
if you have another computer that works hook it up to its computer if screen comes on it will be your video card in the comp now if the screen still doesnt work it will be the cable the pins in the end has some how bent or come loose this will require a service tech electrician to repair simple quick job

The auto dimming circuit on the ccfl inverter is out.  Replace the inverter and it should cure your problem.  Seek adult supervision for this repair. Do not try it by yourself.
