Thread: Screen not Working at all.

Hi

Was wondering if someone could advise on my problem.
Have a HP Pavillion Dv 6250 (think thats correct)

Whilst loading it normally the and usually hibernating it.

The Screen just stop working - it has gone completely blank there is not even dim back light. I have tried to load it up with an external monitor but could see no screen.

The lap top was loading up and was actually signing me into MSN, but no screen.

Also now there is a strange beebing sound as it loads up (developed a couple of restarts later.) It sounds like a bios or windows error , although I am a novice and cannot be sure.

Thanks in advance.

I am going to state the obvious and say your screen has blown, sometimes if you connect an external monitor you have to use a key sequence to switch to it, check your manual

I am afraid I have checked that already.

I have also found the problem. Apparently there is Hardware problem with many of the Pavillion models.
Basically it is the suspect Video Card (which is welded to the motherboard).
This is caused by an irregular fan.

HP reccommend that people download a new bios from their site. I reccomend you do this too to prevent problems.

To their credit they fix Laptops for free with these problems.

Unfortunately I live abroad so would cost me a fair bit to courier to the UK.
