Hello,

Thank you for posting your issue here.

First off, you can try setting the connection of your LCD and the motherboard. You can open the computer. There are a lot of youtube tutorials out there. You can do this before contacting a technician. You can save some money if you do it yourself first. It's actually very easy to do.

If after doing some troubleshooting, nothing changes then that's the time that you can contact a specialist.

I hope this helps!

SOURCE: power connector fix

I did have the same problem with my laptop and I fixed it by resoldering the connector. It is not an easy task, mine was a Compaq presario also. If you do decide to do it, you will need to take apart the whole laptop, removing every screw, LCD screen, Keyboard, processor heatsink, motherboard, the whole nine yard.
Don't forget to :

  • remove all the hexagonal screws on each side of the serial/parallel/vga etc... connectors
  • remove the LCD display as soon as you can. that part is actually easy.
  • The keyboard need to come out before you can open the case, there is a few screws under it.
Let me know how it went!

I get brown streak type stains on my clothes regularly. They are about 1 to 3 inches long and orange-brown in color. They are very difficult to remove. I have a 5 year old Kenmore Elite top loading...

This is from not enough HOT loads.

Fatty deposits gather between the basket and tub during COLD washes.

Then they are being released in large numbers when you do your whites on HOT.

It is recommended to do 1 HOT load per week.

Do an empty load with some degreaser added (like Goo-Gone) on the fullest/hottest setting you have.

Drink split on keys, now has fading to white screen. big problem.

Well if the motherboard is replaced, it is probably a problem with the laptop monitor. If this is the case, at this point, it's probably cheaper to buy a new laptop.

Screen with a weird flickering and coloring on Acer 5715Z laptop

To determine if he video card is faulty, connect an external monitor to the laptop's external video port, then power up the external monitor and then the laptop. The video info should automaticall switch to the external monitor. If you see anormal Windows image on the monitor then the video card is OK and the fault is with the LCD screen, could be the video cable/connector. Try reseating the video cable/connector to the motherboard.
If the video card is faulty and because it is part of the motherboard it is extremely dificult to repair, usually a replacement motherboard is required. This may not be a cost effective solution depending the age of the laptop. You could remove the hard drive from this laptop and insert it into an USB hard drive adapter case and use it as an external USB drive.

Laptop Screen goes blank

Are you running on battery or AC? Try using the power cord, remove the battery and see if it continues. I have seen a battery that is on its last legs do some weird things to a computer. Also, check your power management setting. Control panel, power, and set the computer to "always on" just to see if it could be a power management setting. If none of this works, i would back up all your files, and try to reload win xp from scratch.
