Dell Error Code 0322: LCD Inverter Can't Be Accessed

Forum Graphics & Displays : Graphics Cards Dell Error Code 0322: LCD Inverter Can't Be Accessed

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 that had a little soda spilled on the keyboard. There after the LCD screen is extremely faint. I hooked up an external monitor to see if it could be the video card or motherbaord. An external monitor shows everything fine and I can load up Windows and go about my business. I assumed the LCD Inverter went bad and I have tried 2 new inverters and nothing improved. I tried a new LCD screen and still nothing. I might add the soda has been cleaned up on all parts before trying any replacement parts. I am at a losss now and would like any insights other PC techs might have to offer. The Dell Bios PC self test spitts out a Dell error code 0322 indicating that the LCD inverter can't be accessed (I know this from using an external monitor & pressing F5 during POST). I might add that the battery won't charge either but not sure if that was a pre-exsisting condition or not before the laptop was dropped off to me. Normally I'd say motherboard but the thing works fine if connected to an external monitor with no crashes or anything.

Well based on what you are saying pretty much just about anything connected with the display could be shorted out.
I did a quick google, im guessing you may have also but this page looks promasing as a way to go.

Hello, it's been said when you post on the net, it becomes permanent; good for me.

I too have a Dell 6400 (E1505), and it has the exact problem you described, down to the soda spill. Like you I replaced the invereter twice and LCD once, the battery won't charge, its old. The self test reported fault code 0322 and 0333. external monitor works OK, video card is NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300. The monitor does work from time to time and I also disabled the LID micro switch (disconnected).

Now, did you ever figure out the problem? I'm at a lost and can't see me getting ridoff my laptop.
