Coloured lines I have a HP Pavillion dv2500 and after playing a game on it, all there is are coloured lines on the screen. Shutting it down by pressing the on/off and restarting it has not changed the picture on the screen. There is nothing to see but coloured lines. Can you help?

Well, if you're bold and don't want to spend a lot of money, here's how I fixed mine...

It sounds like the inverter has failed. A small circuit board which lives under the lcd screen. While they are cheapish to buy, replacing them is risky as you have to dissasemble to screen itself. If, like you say, an external display works that rules out most other possibilties. The only other thing could be the screen itself. Bu it would only behave like that if it get smashed.

Please take a moment to rate my solution.
Thanks.

Pressing the f8 key doesn't work either? This should boot the laptop to safe mode, if it doesn't then check the memory cards before you do anything else, try to get somebody with the same type of memory card to lend it to you. If that doesn't work, then your HDD is corrupted, and to re-install Windows.

GO ON LINE AND TYPE THE MFG NAME, MAKE, MODEL, SCREEN WENT BLACK.

ENTER

ROD

the DV2500 will not play LP (90 minute) tapes. when an LP tape is inserted, it will play for 2-3 seconds, and then eject.

U could be more specific, however you are covered up to 1 year from the day of purchase for any manufacturing error, not accidental. Depending on the country u r in call HP and let them noe of the problem. The'll help u out. If possible I recommend just restoring ur PC to factory setting if it is software related problem.

Sounds like a loose lcd cable, or possibly inverter-lcd cable.
Try gently pressing on the lcd about 1/3 of the way down form the top, and 1/3 from the left, or in that area.
Good luck
