Any HP Laptop Users Get The BlackScreen?
Search turned up A-Z with little solace or, real help. I tried the way too easy unplug/remove battery and static discharge trick to no avail. I copped an $80 Acer 20" LCD screen this morning, connected it to my HP G60 laptop, and it runs fine and, normal...on the add'l monitor, not my laptop screen. Any tricks or ideas? I can live with it in meantime in it's inelegant rig job, but I suspect the 'fix' will be about half the cost of a new laptop. That, and the potential fixes suggested are all over the map... Thanks, mD PS: I ain't shopping for a Mac laptop...

Most likely cause is the inverter, the other common failure is the backlight itself. You might be able to find someone locally who can fix it for a few hundred dollars. More info here:

Bummer on the black screen - HP might try to repair for you if they can't suggest a fix. I have a few PCs (actually would like to get a Mac someday but that's another story) and one is an HP. They have been pretty good to deal with. Good luck.

I agree on the FL inverter or the CCFL itself...
Am going to call around here locally, to see if any joint has done it, and what is cost. Meantime, this new Acer 18.5 monitor is nice, if a little odd on the pano shape. Laptop is running it fine; the laptop screen itself is just RayCharles... BR, mD

MD - give HP a call, they can diagnose it over the phone at least so that you're not chasing the wrong fix.
It could be a broken wire in the hinge ( video connector from MB and power connector route through hinges sometimes), it could be the element in the display, etc etc.

That being said, depending upon the symptoms, and whether similar problems happen on that model, they might be able to guide MD in a certain direction to fix the problem. I'ld spell it out further but I might use big words that would frustrate you.
