Chak,
DDR2 memory is not backward compatible with DDR memory. DDR2 module will not fit into the slot designed for DDR module. It looks the same but the notch is located in a different spot.
You purchased DDR2 but you need DDR.

I tried to upgrade my Dell Inspiron 710m memory from 1 GB (2 X 512) to 2 GB (2 X 1GB). I bought a Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-5300 667MHz 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 Laptop Memory from Buy.com. Surprisingly the new memory doesnt fit into the socket. The nick present in between the pins (200 pins) is 1 mm close to one end (I compared with the one in my note book which has PC2700 DDR SDRAM SODIMM memory). Do you think this is a manufacturer damage or problem, or this new crucial memory doesnt support my notebook.

Krot,
Test the hard drive, you can use Hitachi’s DFT. If the hard drive passes test, try reinstalling Windows from scratch.
Also, test memory with Memtest86+.
I linked to both utilities in Resources on the right side.

Craig,
In cases like this the first think to try is replacing the inverter board. If the LCD screen is dark but you still can see a faint image, most likely this problem is related to the inverter – the power supply for the backlight lamp.
Did you replace just the screen or it came with the inverter – a small board attached to the bottom of the screen?

I have a Dell inspiron 8200 and I was wondering if any one has a solution to this problem. My LCD is blank but I can see the image in the background. I have gone as far as buying a new LCD which came assembled but the same result. I connected an external monitor to the laptop and it works fine on the external. I have reinstalled my video drivers and no success. I have started in safe mode and still nothing on the lcd. I’ve reinstalled the bios, reseated the video card, reseated the LED board and nothing. If anyone has a solution to this I would greatly appreciate it thanks in advance.
