Laptop LCD

Hello,

I have a laptop and the video ribbon cable got messed up.

I then purchased a new one and looked at the diagram online etc.

It appears that I need to connect it to the motherboard underneath the
keyboard and then to the back of the LCD.

My question is this:

Is it safe to work on the LCD with the battery out of the laptop and
power off of course... meaning could I be shocked at all?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm new to repairs. The laptop is really old and not worth that much
so I don't care if it doesn't work and I don't want to take it to a
repair shop.

Thanks!

 

Stop! Get the service manual. What is the make and model?

 

Das Machine is nicht fur gefingerpoken und mittengrabben. Ist easy schnappen
der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparken. Ist nicht
fur gewerken by das dummkopfen. Das rubbernecken sightseeren musten keepen
das cotten-pickenen hands in das pockets - relaxen und watchen das
blinkenlights.

 

Dell Lattiude LS what? Mever mind, hope you found the troubleshooting
section of the manual and followed the cautions.

Does not sound good that. You sure you haven't whacked the brightness on
full, or switched video output to an external monitor, or jammed the lid
switch? or used the cable for the wrong type screen or something?
