I have been asked to look at the above laptop and as this is the first
laptop I have been inside, I am seeking info.

The symptoms are; it works perfectly with an external Monitor, but the
LCD screen is blank. The back-light switches off when switched to EXT.
and switches ON when screen is toggled.

As I am new to these and have no info; can anyone answer following

1. Which sequence of keys to enter BIOS Setup.
2. what method is used to disable the LCD Video. Does switching the
back-light OFF automatically kill the LCD video or is a control signal
used.
3. Has anyone INF on connections between M/B and LCD on this model.

Added info. F3 2A fuse was o/c (feeds 5v to LCD). Replaced, but symptoms
            remained the same.
            There is activity on the ribbon connectors on the top of LCD
            but the volts on the side ribbons are static.

Many thanks

Tommy
