I have used my laptop this morning and all was well, had to shut down in a hurry so pressed and held the off switch, re booted tonight and the computer is turning on firing up etc but the screen is totally blank, currenlty have it plugged into my old Home PC moniter in order to get online!
Any help is appreciated

When I start my laptop,i can hear the machine start n all the lights on,but nothing comes on the screen.its blank.can any one help me with this problem.
Unfortunately, sounds like the LCD backlight or backlight power board is bad. If there is any warranty, lucky you. Otherwise you need replacement parts. The output voltage on the powerboard needs to be checked to determine what needs to be replaced. Backlight Approx $20, powerboard Approx $65. This is the cost for parts alone if you are into electronics, otherwise a repair shop would end up charging you $200 - $300. There is a slight possibility that it is only a loose connection (cold solder joint or loose cable), but the laptop would still need to be opened, Lots of luck

Upon replacing my HP laptop's lcd screen, the new installment is rendering 4 screens of windows at startup. I've played around with the display settings and tried updating display drivers and nothing seems to help. Does this mean the screen I purchased is incompatible? Is it hardware or graphics card related? If so, why? The general impact that shattered the old screen was directly on the lcd itself-- if it was localized how would it affect the graphics card or other hardware?
