How do I life up the screen (open the laptop) on an HP Pavilion vd 4000? when I press the central button on the front, nothing happens.
When you push on the center button, that is supposed to move two hold down teeth to the side allowing the screen to move up. You then grab the lid and lift the screen manually into position. If the lid will not move up with the button depressed, then a piece of linkage is either binding or broken. In that case, keep the button depressed and try taking a credit card and sliding it from one side to the other and then back in the opposite direction, the teeth are tied together so if you move one, you move both. If you feel resistance on the card, try lifting the lid as you move the teeth.
