Had a Inspiron 9300 with a cracked LCD. Replaced the LCD and it was working awesome for the first two days (except for the 1 irritating pixel that was out) and then all of a sudden during using it, bam, out it went. What happened was, I unplugged the laptop to move it and the whole computer died. (this isn't my laptop and my friend didn't tell me the battery was bad) So I just turned it back on cause it died since there was no power to it so I didn't think anything about it. When I went to turn it back on, there was no video on the lcd. nothing at all. After leaving it off for a while I tried it again, and still no display but the backlight did come on. I went ahead and opened it back up to check for loose connections or something on the inverter or lcd and everything was tight so I closed it back up and same thing. After turning it on and off a few times the backlight wouldn't even come on. That was yesterday, tried it again today to the same effect. Did I mess up the inverter some how when the power was unplugged and shut off or did I just get a bad LCD? Video on an external monitor works fine by the way incase you were wondering.

Thanks in advance.
