So I have an ASUS G50VT and have had no issues with it for several years until now. All of the sudden the display cut out and I can barely see anything. I know it isn't the graphics card because when I hook up an external monitor it looks fine. Just looking for some fixes I can do myself without paying hundreds for a repair. Any help is appreciated!
 
Open the cover and check all cable must some cable damage.......and check display connector .......
 
Some lappy displays use floro tubes as the back light. If the inverter has died it's simple to replace it. I've had a few poop out over the years. Now I only use lappys that have LED back lighting.
 
Well how can I know if my laptop uses floro tubes or has an LED screen? And when I do figure that out how can i determine what the actual problem is, between faulty wiring, dead bulb, etc... ? Also I don't know if this helps but the laptop was purchased in 2009 from BestBuy, so it is not that old. Thanks for the responses!!
