Stop! Get the service manual. What is the make and model?


It's a Dell LS.

Dell Lattiude LS what? Mever mind, hope you found the troubleshooting
section of the manual and followed the cautions.

I tried to install the ribbon and my screen is still just white.

I can hear the laptop boot up normally though.

Does not sound good that. You sure you haven't whacked the brightness on
full, or switched video output to an external monitor, or jammed the lid
switch? or used the cable for the wrong type screen or something?
