Answer 1

So let me get this straight, your dad took a screen from an old laptop and hooked it up to his new one?

i donno never heard of neone doing this, donno y ud wanna. neways try to hook it up to an external monitor through the vga output port and then guide ur way to device manager and see if it might need a driver. or it just might not be compatible.  

Answer 2

2 LCD Monitors? not laptop monitors? and your Dad change it of course something wrong will happen.. Well you can repair it to TR Vidcom they expert technicians in handling laptop problems..  

Answer 3

thats the truth unfortunately, when your backlite goes out u need to replace it, cool laptop, but im so sorry, mine cost 350, but i had it under warranty so it was free, u can sort of see it, but not good enough. if u have an external monitor and keyboard, hook them up like a desktop, so sorry for that, i know how it feels
