hi everyone,

i'm having an issue with my fujitsu siemens v3505. basically, the thing was dropped and the backlight lightbulb got smashed. i managed to replace the backlight and i suppose i re-assembled it correctly. however, even though the screen works fine now, i'm getting a constant, high-pitched noise coming from the lcd inverter/reflector area (regardless of whether the laptop is plugged in or runs on battery) and the computer slowed down, slightly but noticeably. now, i have no idea what might be the issue - btw, the replacement lightbulb is roughly the same size and circumference as the original one (a few millimetres longer, if anything). would anyone have any ideas as to what to look at/check etc? i'd be really grateful.

cheers,
peter

oh yeah, btw i've just noticed the inverter gets rather warm now - i don't suppose it's a normal thing, right? =]
