• Laptop Screen not working, External Monitor works however
    2 replies, posted
My laptop monitor is only black with nothing on it and the laptop itself works fine. I have it booted up to an external monitor and everything works except for the screen. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 7738. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try hitting Fn+F5 to see if the display mode was switched. If that doesn't work then pull the battery, hold down the power button for 10 seconds then put the battery back in and boot it up. If that doesn't work then the inverter is probably dead, try shining a flashlight at the screen when its on to see if there's a very faint picture.

The taking the battery out worked. You have saved me time and money :)
