Gordon,
Most likely you have a failed screen inverter. Here are instructions for replacing the inverter board. The guide is made for an IBM notebook but it will not be much different for a Dell notebook.

I have a Dell Insiron 1150, the screen went dark. I can see the image in the background when i put bright lights toward the screen, and the additional motiter option still works. What needs to be fixed and how is it done.
Thanks

I have a Dell D510 that I would like to fim on my on. While I was useing it I saw that it was running off battery power only even when pluge into outlet. When I wiggled the poer cord going into the computer it started running on A/C power. Tehn it went back to battery and died and now I can not get it to power up even with A/C power. I have replaced the A/C power cord and that did not fix the problem. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it? Would it be worth fixing it or buy another laptop. You may also email me at PREACHER_2525@YAHOO.CO In the subject put LAPTOP REPAIR

Jeremy,
I think I found the problem with my laptop. It always keeps charging the battery eventhough it is actually full.
If you remove the battery and measure voltage on the motherboard’s terminal( between pin 6(19.??V) and 1(GND) always). It should not charge the battery since it not plugged in. I did compare this on my good one(I have two identical ones) and it read ~1V.
I think there is the problem on motherboard’s charging circuit but I can not find anywhere for the schematic to identify the source of problem. I would appreciate it if you or someone could provide a schematic for the DELL LATITUDE C610. Thanks

Maguy,
Run memory diagnostics test, I usually use Memtest86+ utility. You might have a failed memory module. You’ll find a link to this utility in the “Links” on the right pane.
