The other day the screen failed on my 4 year old philips laptop (12nb5800). I thought it would be a good idea to buy two faulty ones on ebay and make 2 good laptops out of the three. Things started off well as I had two working machines, but the touchpad started playing up one of them.

So I changed the toouchpad panel (as I had 3) and this one was the same, as a process of fault finding I decided to try the third. Now they are all the same and not working properly. I have tried different motherboards, and cables.

I really can't see that all three have failed, but am now stuck on what to do next.

Any ideas?

I know it sounds silly, but all I can think is that possibly the ribbon cable has come slightly out when putting it back together?
