Well I have been working on this same laptop for almost 8 months now. The laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook S series 6210) had its LCD broken and part of the inverter. So I replaced the LCD and inverter. The video worked but the backlight did not on the new LCD. Luckily the company allowed me to return it for a replacement thinking the CCFL might have been damaged. Now I just finished installing the new LCD/inverter and same issue. I can see video, but the backlight isn't functioning. I still think it has something to do with the lid close toggle switch which is inside the right hinge. The bezel acts like a toggle ( I assume ). But I don't want to damage the laptop by opening that particular area. The bezel has a longer end where it fits inside the right hinge. Anyway I've tried everything that I can think of. An external monitor is always an option but I'd rather not since I have a faster desktop PC already. Does anyone know about this model and what I might be missing?

You should be able to turn off the lid switch under Windows in the power
properties. Set it to do nothing when you close the lid.

So your desktop is faster than your laptop, eh? Lucky you! Mine is
slower than my laptop. Thus I use my laptop as my desktop too. Although
the desktop (2002 era) is still plugged in just in case the laptop ever
dies (2006 era).

I'll look in windows and see what I can do. I doubt it will be of any help
since this laptop is tempermental but it's worth a try.

Are you absolutely certain you have the inverter installed correctly and
connected correctly to the mainboard power source correctly? This is
suspiciously like the inverter is not getting/supplying any power.

================================================
Yes the plug on the left side of the inverter comes up from the mainboard. And the plug on the right of the inverter is plugged to the LCD. These plugs to my knowledge can't work the other way so I would think its installed correctly. ( I have thought about using a volt meter to see if the inverter is getting power and/or out the other end. I have been warned that it outputs somewhere between 1000 volts. So my focus now is figuring out how this models lid close toggle switch works. Again it is a Fujitsu Lifebook S series 6210.

Why not refrain from posting until you have something of value to offer
the readers? As triple checking is only wasting everybody's time.
