Add to your checklist Reinstall Video Driver. I’ve got bright white now. Thanks for your time!</blockquote> Thanks for this tip. I guess when you reinstall the video driver, it re-detects the LCD screen and installed the correct software if the LCD screen is not the same as before. Richard,

Happy ending. Add to your checklist Reinstall Video Driver. I’ve got bright white now. Thanks for your time!

And in the BIOS too, but you've given me an idea. My BIOS is old, A03. I know A16 is more current. I'll try flashing and let you know how it went.

Also, check the BIOS settings. Maybe you can change the screen brightness in there. Richard,

I just replaced the lcd on my Dell C610 with one I bought from a reputable seller on eBay. Everything went well, but when I fired it up I found the display much dimmer than it was before.

Everything went well, but when I fired it up I found the display much dimmer than it was before. Checking part numbers, I came up with my old Hitachi TX36D98VC1CAC and the new part, TX36D98VC1CAE. I swapped invertors, but nothing improved. Can you tell me if there's a difference in the brightness of these two models? If so, I'm sunk. If there is no difference, your article has given me the courage to swap the backlights. Thank you. I just replaced the lcd on my Dell C610 with one I bought from a reputable seller on eBay.

Found a couple of references that this model has a know problem with the ribbon cable getting pinched causing problems with the monitor. Anyone have similar but more specific instructions to take apart a Dell Inspiron 1000 before I jump into my repair effort with all thumbs?

Here are disassembly instructions for some Dell laptops. Read though a few guides and you’ll get an idea how to take it apart.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1000, quit using it after about 9 months because the display was useless...lots of intermitent lines but nothing discernable as a display. A couple of years later I'm trying to make use of it again. The computer works using a separate disply but I really want the laptop display working but its not worth repair costs unless I can do it myself.
