Hi,
I'm in a bit of a pickle. Some years ago I replaced my Acer Aspire 5102WMLi laptop with a Dell Inspiron 1720.
The screen on the Acer started turning pink and I tried replacing the back light inverter, but that didn't solve the problem. Other than the screen being unusable, the laptop worked fine.
At that time I was given some money by my parents and decided to splash out on a new laptop, always intending at some point to replace the Acer's faulty screen - but I never did.
I bought a lovely Dell Inspiron 1720, but unfortunately the screen on that laptop has stopped working. The screen stays black and shows no life at all.
I can use both laptops with an external monitor.
I would like to replace one or both faulty screens, but money is now tight and I can't afford to buy new replacements.
I am looking at buying a used screen off eBay, but neither model comes up that often (at the right price!) and I wondered if someone would be able to tell me if for either machine, if the screens from any other models would do the job?
This would give me a better chance of finding a replacement.
I'm not sure what other information would be relevant to help with replies, so I hope I've given enough to get started.
Thanks for taking time to read this.
