    Hello,

     

    eMachines E520:

    Have you tried to connect your laptop to an external monitor or LCD TV in using VGA connector?

    Note: [Fn]+[F5] --> Switches display output between the display screen, external monitor (if connected) and both.

    Hello,

     

    When you move your screen (open/close 45°), do you see something?

    Hello,

     

    To check the LCD connector:

    1- Unplug the power supply

    2- Remove the battery

    3- Unscrew the 3 screw inside the battery compartment

    4- Remove the switch cover between the screen and the keyboard

    5- Check the LCD connector ( white rectangular connector)
