Hello Al,
I hate to inform you but the graphics chip in these laptops are known for doing this. HP is aware of that. Every time some one brings me a Hp Dv6000 laptop about 75% of the problem is the system board or overheating issues.
First try cleaning the laptop screen with laptop screen cleaner

if its still blurry connect a external monitor to your laptop to see if the display is blurry on the external monitor (to get to toggle the video from your laptop you will have to press the Fn key + F4)
If its still blurry then its the graphics card or chip needs to be replaced. They are all integrated with the system board / mother board.
If its clear and images are good then the laptop screen will need to be replaced. hope that helps.

If you have Vista, load cd and reboot. When it asks you to, hit anykey to boot from cd. When windows loads it will give you some options. Try fixing the startup. This will try to repair a damaged boot sector. If this doesn't do it or it is having trouble, try booting with the cd again and this time pick restore computer to an earlier time and pick a day or two ago. Let windows restore back a few days and reboot, make sure you take the disc out at the last reboot, or just don't hit any key when it asks you to....see if windows will boot up on its own.

Well are 2 reasons for this behaviour of your notebook...first it can be an issue with the graphics card installed on the motheboard or its an issue with the Monitor cable which is connected between the motherboard and the LCD.
Following are the steps that you can try to resolve the problem:
At first we need to check whether its a hardware problem or not.
1.Restart the computer and tap on the F10 key for a while which would take us to the BIOS SET UP UTILITY...
2.Now we need to wait for sometime in this screen so that we can check the status of the screen whether the screen goes dim or it remains normal..
3.If the screen remains normal for around 10 minutes then its not a problem with the cable,
4.Now we need to get back to the windows screen and try installing the graphics driver for the notebook.
Let me provide you a couple of drivers for the notebook.
I am providing you the drivers assuming Windows Vista installed on the system
if you have an ATI card installed, the install the below mentioned driver:

if you have an NVIDIA card install the below mentioned driver:

or you can install the drivers directly from the manufacturers website..
Hope this works.

KEN
