Hello everyone. I have a Compaq Presario V5000 and the lcd on it is having problems. All the lcd does is display three vertical lines on the left side of the screen. I took it apart and moved a chip one the lcd and it worked. Does this sound like a bad ribbon cable or a bad chip? Also when i was moving things around on the lcd, the inverter got shorted out on something i think, i smelled something burning, and now obviously the backlight doesnt work, but i wanted to know if there was a way to tell if shorting out the inverter hurt the motherboard before i buy new parts for it. Please help!
