Toshiba 1135-s155 screen gets no power

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

If you didn't get water in the lid, it's unlikely that the screen or
inverter is actually bad (if you did get water in the lid, there are
lots of possibilities).

How long ago did this happen? Usually, water will eventually evaporate
and the laptop will work again. It can take a few weeks, but as often
as not, water, if that all that it is, does no damage (the keyboard may
be an exception to this) (also, I'm presuming that the laptop wasn't
actually immersed or held under a faucet).

From your description, I'd most suspect that you just didn't get it
back together correctly.
