[LAPTOP] SCREEN IS BLANK WHEN IT IS SWITCHED ON
Issue
I turned off my laptop one night and I switched it on the next day but the screen would not work also the drive light is not on/flashing. This is a HP Pavilion dv6000 Entertainment laptop!
Solution
I had the same problem with my HP DV6599. On power on the screen would stay black, no POST, nothing at all on the display. The HDD would spin up but the HDD indicator would not come on and would not boot. The DVD drive would spin up and attempt to read a disc if one was in the tray but still would not boot.
I found an answer on another forum.
Try this:
- Unplug the power,
- Remove the battery and then hold the power button for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Then reattach the power and attempt a boot.
- Just shutdown, put the battery back in you're good to go.
Worked for me so definitely worth a try.
Thanks to
