Everex StepNote NC1503 Blank Screen
I have a Everex StepNote NC1503 that when you boot it up I don't get any post beeps, the hard drive spins, the fan is on and the wifi light is on but the screen is blank. Tried pulling the Ram, Hard drive and wireless card no luck. Pulled the Cmos and main Batt for 10 min. No good.
Thanks John

You could have a defective screen - a defective inverter or a CCFL lamp, follow this to determine the fault.
To determine if you have a LCD screen problem, read this and follow the instructions.
Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom:
- Screen flashs on red/pink and off.
- Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal.
- Picture flickering with dim display.
- Picture flickering on and off.
All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lampConnect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight.
Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.
