hello,
I have a gateway 3018gz laptop i put a new lcd in it now heres the problem the lcd images are dark and hard to see on the screen. I accidently pluged in the wrong power supply and turned on the unit the power supply voltage was the same but the current on the power supply was rated a 3.95 A and the laptop could only handel 3.42A does anyone know if i blew out the lcd or what would i correct this issue thank.

Probably killed your backlight. If that's the case, you're probably looking at buying yet another LCD screen...

You could do that, sure.
Some laptops have an all-inclusive LCD unit. Often times, disassembling the LCD portion of the device will damage the unit.
If you feel comfortable doing that, cool, but I would suggest simply replacing the whole LCD unit.
