LCD inverter replacement
 

Hi

I think the LCD inverter in my Fujitsu-Siemens laptop is of the
impossible to find type. It's possible that I could send it somewhere
for repair but it's unlikely to be worth spending the money (the laptop
has other problems).

I see that there are plenty of inverters to be had on ebay for just a
few pounds/dollars. Is it feasable to buy a different inverter and just
adapt the connectors as necessary or are the voltages likely to be
vastly different? I suppose the main problem here would be finding out
what the output voltage is supposed to be.

And just in case anyone has a source for the proper replacement, it's
from a Fujitsu-Siemens C1020 notebook and it drives a Hitachi
TX36D70VC1CAF.

TIA for any help/clues
Tim

These items are normally matched to the specific lamps they are driving.
FYI: get the whole assembly with the operatable lamps so it matched the
drivers specs.

These items have to be matched to the type of lamp it is driving. Many
times, both the lamp and module are changed together, at the factory
service.

I take it you called Fuji, and or Siemens directly to see if you can
have them service the computer for you? I know that they will not sell
the parts to any non-authorized service person, but normaly they will
service the computer for you. At least, it will be serviced with a
warranty of some kind if they do the service on it.
