[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 348027, member: 24098"] Are there any visible cracks on the screen? If not - try using the laptop in a brightly lit room. Can you see a faint image on the screen? If so, your CCFL tube is likely broken or the inverter is bad. If nothing at all, you flex cable that runs from the systemboard to the display is either damaged or detached. iFixIt.com has all the parts and disassembly instructions you need, providing that you feel comfortable disassembling your notebook. Also, if the hard disk was clacking loudly, but now working, that doesn't mean you're out of the woods. Whenever there's a mechanical failure (the clacking noise), there's usually damage to the disk surface or the mechanicals. [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
