hi I own a aspire 1703sc and it has worked faultlessly for ages ,but now (and i dont know why) it has only a blank screen??? ,I have pluged a external lcd screen into the vga out at the back and thats working fine ,is there anyway to use the vga out to power the built in lcd screen on the laptop?to save having to use a external lcd, contacted acer and they say it could (the fault) be 1 of 3 things , 1 the nvida card, 2, the lcd inverter, or 3 the lcd screen itself, but and here is the crunch, they want a fortune to check what it could be, and the 3 parts they listed that could be at fault are a arm and a leg to purchace, ,so I just thought a cheaper option would be to try and get the screen to run of the vga out, if possible, if it can be done that would rule out the screen as faulty, if it dont work then back to the origanal 3 options, trouble is you hardly ever see them up for sale second hand on ebay hope somebody reading this can help just hope there is a cheaper option than what acer say
thanks
steven
ps I am sure I read somewhere that there is a board that can replace the nvida, you dont get the range the nvida offers but it gets you up and running at a fraction of the cost of a new nvida board
thanks again any info welcomed
steven
