My mom dropped her laptop and the screen cracked, so I ordered a new one from amazon and replaced the screen. I had the front bezel off and the screen was screwed in securely with the lcd connector plugged in. I turned the laptop on and showed my mom and the display turned on fine, then all of the sudden I saw a bit of smoke come out from the bottom left. Since I had the battery in I had to turn it off by holding the power button until it shut down completely, My mom didn't see the smoke, but I did. You can still smell a hint of it.
I then took the display off, plugged it in without the battery in, and then plugged it into a monitor via hdmi. The computer worked perfectly. then tried plugging in the old screen (the cracked screen) and no issue (aside from it being cracked lol). I then tried the new screen and it worked. Keep in mind that the screen is not mounted on the metal frame, it's connected with the wire and I leaned it against a notebook to see what is displayed.
I even tried it with the battery again and nothing. Could it me that the back of the display is creating a short when it's installed in the computer (screwed in) because the back of the lcd screen could be pressing against the tinfoil of the front panel and shorting out. I am really not sure and tried googling around and need a second opinion of what to do.
