Troubleshooting power ok, possible backlight but no picture
Hi, my 2711 almost toppled over today (was putting on a stand) but I caught it. Didn’t think anything of it until I noticed I was getting no picture. If I power cycle, no input cables attached, I don’t get the Dell boot up logo or any of the “no source” messages you’d expect. It’s just black, blue LEDs light and function, and I /think/ the screen is glowing a bit. Hard to tell in a well lit office. I was thinking of taking the back off and looking for a solder crack or similar, and maybe getting some replacement parts. I know it’s only worth $100 these days but it’s a fun project. Is there anyway to troubleshoot if it’s the boards before I buy some. What else could it be? Thanks!

Pic of what I re-seated to make it work again! Thanks all!
Is dit een goede vraag?

@loothi remove the back cover and lets se what your boards and wiring look like. Post some good pictures with your question. Voeg afbeeldingen toe aan een bestaande vraag

@oldturkey03 @mixxy1010 Just wanted to update to say - it works again!
Took the back off, reseated the two cables in the center, and the white ribbon cable on the back right hand side... (adding pic) plugged it in - and the menu/controls were back. Thrilled! Thanks for the response.
