Conputer help needed.

Posted on 10/25/2010 12:53:49 PM PDT by The Cajun

Dell Inspiron 6000 owned by a relative.
I have isolated the problem to the LDC inverter (k021087.00),
however Dell will not sell just the inverter board. They will sell
only a “kit” which is the whole display for $400, Dell rip-off.
I was looking at several suppliers of this board and on Ebay. The
prices seem to run from $10 to $50. Newegg and Digikey ,
2 dealers I am satisfied with in the past, do not handle the item.
Was looking at an outfit called Yallstore which has the part.
Was wondering if anyone has dealt with them or could
recommend a good vender of such parts
(realizing that all will probably be Chinese companies).
Any advise much appreciated.

It just might be a tricky and devious way to draw attention to the thread and get an answer.

Are you sure the lid switch is functioning correctly? Dells are kinda goofy that way.

Don’t suppose you’re one of those Cajun allocator hunters I see on TV.

I always love Freudian slips. They are so, innocent yet telling.

Sorry I can’t help with the problem though. I did replace the keyboard on my laptop last year.

Try these: smartmicrousa.com K021087.00 LAPTOP INVERTER BOARD ($38)

Impact Computers K021087.00 Inverter (15.4 LCD Display WSXGA + SC LS) for Dell Inspiron 6000 ($49) Otherwise, no experience with any of them. I'm surprised Dell doesn't have an authorized repair shop near you that can't get the part for you. I'd consider asking them about that, or searching for an authorized dell repair shop and ask them yourself.

Yeah, checked that out, then removed the inverter board
and inspected visually with X10 magnifier glasses and can see the transformer on the board has a burnt section (HV end).

Here's a link to some opinions of Yallstore, almost all of which are unfavorable. Caveat enptor. (sic)

Go to EBay and buy a used one that's been yanked out of a working system. Here's one but it doesn't match your part number.
