First I guess I need to ask, are Inspiron 1150 and 1100 lcd
compatible? I am hoping so since, after breaking the lcd on my 1150
I shopped around and discovered a 1100 lcd on Ebay for a fraction o
the cost of a new 1150 lcd. Since there were a lot of listings tha
stated that the 1150 and 1100 were compatible, I decided I would giv
it a shot. When I got the "new" lcd, I realized that th
flex cable was different and that the cable I had wouldn't fit th
"new" lcd, so I decided I would see if the cable that cam
with the new lcd would fit my motherboard, it did but...........whe
starting up the computer the lcd would give me an all white screen.
After plugging up an external monitor, and messing with the displa
settings, I have got the lcd to work, kinda. It works if I start th
computer with the new display unplugged and use the external one
after windows starts I can then plug in the new lcd, and it works
and will continue to work as long as I don't restart the computer, i
will even work after coming out of hibernation. Can't understand i
its a compatability issue or some kinda driver, or setting problem.
please help, thanks in advance
 
reset the refresh and screen size to what the manual says for the new LCD
Is this an Analog connection?
