i dont know where to post this but i just took apart a laptop and i
would like to make the screen work. is there a way that i car wire it?
if you need anymore information please just ask.
 
Years ago I worked in a sporting goods store and we offered
service to customers who needed their fishing and hunting
equipment "cleaned." Our prices were on a sliding scale,
for example...
remember this was a long time ago...
Disassemble, clean and reassemble $2.00
ditto while you watch $5.00
teach you how to do it $10.00
listen to the story about how your kid took it apart
$25.00

Since you can't write a proper sentence, you must be "the
kid" so I suggest that you send it to the manufacturer to
have it repaired. The screen and all the rest of the laptop
must work together, the problem could be in the LCD, its
power source, the video hardware or software, we can't
advise further since we have no clue from your post about
what it was doing before you took it apart.
Hint to the masses, you can troubleshoot a computer
(usually) by looking at the parts, you need to see it run or
have test equipment.

Agreed!

I'm a SW guy but I've been playing with computer HW for 40+
years (designed and hand built a DMA controller for my PDP-15 in
the '68 or so) but the few time I've tried to "fix" a laptop
I've failed miserably.

Unless you know exactly what you're doing no one should attempt
to fix a laptop. (The guys who design them are sadists - I can
never find all the screws or latches that hold it together :-(

If you want to repair a laptop, the best and perhaps only
thing to do is buy a dozen or so broken laptops [preferably
the same model] and practice on the them before you open the
"good" one. You also need the service manual.

Thanks Dan, Jim

Good idea. I'll go down in the basement and bring up a few
of the ones I screwed up and practice.

I opened my old Toshiba T1000 after the display was broken
in an accident. It wasn't too bad and except for the big
crack in the LCD, it worked fine after I put it back
together. But it is an early machine, without a hard drive
or much of anything else complicated. But I've seen the
laptop manuals that show nested cards, cable routings, and
lots of steps requiring that a certain part be removed to
gain access to the part you really want to get at.

It is a little like the old joke about yachts and money, "if
you have to ask you can't afford it." If you have to ask
about computers you probably need at least some hands on
instruction and enough money to buy a replacement.

If you want my definition of bravery, take a hack saw and
files to your only Colt 45 to fit a beavertail grip safety
and modify the ejection port and you don't have the money to
buy any other parts or replace the frame if you screw it up.
