Hello Ive have fitted a new screen to my sony vaio laptop as my old screen was cracked however it is not displaying anything but when i turn my laptop on i get very close to the screen and i can see a tiny flicker when pressing the power button the screen is still black.I dont think its the graphics card as the laptop displays a image on a external monitor.
Is it the backlight and how do you switch it on if it is
My laptop is a Sony Vaio SVE1511A1EW 15.5" Laptop INTEL PENTIUM B970 2.30GHz 4GB 500GB

Did you verify the exact part number from your cracked screen and then order the new screen or did you order the screen based on the model number of the laptop? If you did the latter then you might have gotten the wrong screen part number.

Other than that you need to check the cable connections and if it still does then you may have gotten a faulty screen.
