Russell Rhodes,
Are you asking about the backlight lamp (CCFL) witch is located inside the LCD screen? Take a look at this guide:

I took my Dell Inspiron 9100 apart because of overheating, cleaned all three fans, reassembled it…and pffft. Three lights would come on (num lock, cap lock, etc.) for five seconds, but the laptop was very quiet, and then it would shut itself off. I couldn’t figure out what had happened, so I asked my husband for help, and he realized that when I removed the microprocessor thermal cooling assembly, that the CPU’s thermal grease had become so hard that the CPU was actually yanked out of the socket by the cooling assembly. So when I put the assembly back in, the CPU wasn’t locked in place, and the lock mechanism couldn’t be reached (or seen) because the assembly was blocking it. My husband carefully pried the CPU off the assembly, cleaned the old grease, put the CPU back on the motherboard and locked it, put grease on the CPU, and put the assembly back in. We reassembled the rest of the laptop, and presto, it works fine again!

My Dell Inspiron 9100 laptop would not boot after I cleaned its fans. It would come on for about 5 seconds, just the three num lock/caps lock/etc lights, very quiet, then shut off. I tried re-reseating everything but it wouldn’t work, and lots of Google searches seemed to indicate a motherboard problem. My husband looked at the laptop and realized that that when I removed the microprocessor thermal cooling assembly, that the CPU’s thermal grease had become so hard that the CPU was actually yanked out of the socket by the cooling assembly. So when I put the assembly back in, the CPU wasn’t locked in place, and the lock mechanism couldn’t be reached (or seen) because the assembly was blocking it. My husband carefully pried the CPU off the assembly, cleaned the old grease, put the CPU back on the motherboard and locked it, put grease on the CPU, and put the assembly back in. We reassembled the rest of the laptop, and presto, it works fine again! I haven’t seen this solution anywhere in my Googling, so I hope it helps someone else.

Due to a hacker taking out all my files and corrupting my system i cannot load the system. Nothing comes on the screen from boot up apart from a small dash on the screen.Have tried Control and F11 to go to safe mode but nothing happens.
Would like to start from scratch,has anyone got a driver utility disc for a Dell Latitude C610 please.
Regards

tom,
1.You can solder the + pin to the trace on the top. After that connect the trace on the top with the trace on the bottom with a thin wire.
2. You can widen the whole for the + pin with an awl. After that insert a thin copper wire inside the whole and solder it to the bottom side of the motherboard. Finally, install the power jack and solder it to the copper wire witch is already installed in the whole.

Hi,
Since I bought my laptop from DELL, I am facing a lot of intermittent problem
The reason I bought from Funan center because I thought we order to make can be of better quality but it is worse.
I wrote many emails about this issue but no one cares.
I bring the laptop to Funan, the salesman just did not bother to help me and said service center.
Hello, this is a thousand over dollars item, please help asap
