Is my screen led or LCD?

[afaw]

Hiya all very helpfull forum but this is my first post.

My sons sony vaio laptop sve151d11m screen as cracked due to be sat on

I ordered a screen of ebay after giving them the laptops model number and an led screen arrived.
On fitting I broke the 40 pin gold connector, now I had to get a screen wire. So I sent the screen back as I only had 7days to return it just in case there were more laptop faults.

I've had a wire, fitted it and ordered another screen, giving the laptop number an led screen arrived.
Carefully fitted it no problems, but the image is very very dim as if the backlight isn't working...

I've now sent that screen back.

Am I right in saying you don't need a backlight for an led screen ?

You need a backlight for an LCD screen which is an led? Or bulb if an old laptop.

I've had no joy with sony what so ever,

I've typed in the screens model number to google and some name it an led and some LCD.


Help help help help

Thanks mike.

Is there a difference in an led and LCD screen then, just had a message of a seller saying I can confirm that both led and LCD are different and the led screen is what I need,

I've tried a an led and it didn't work
