Your ram strips need reseating. Pop them out and then refit firmly. If this is not enough, one of them is faulty.

Before you invest any further, try the lcd inverter http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2007/01/31/replace-screen-inverter-fix-backlight/ I have seen them for real cheap. If you take off your bezel cover underneath the display you'll find the inverter or if necessary you can get a tech to help install. Usually theres a series of beeps when you get a blank screen. Hp pavilion laptops also get hot on the keyboard after a while from long term use and zd 8000 came out about 4 years ago so the display should be a pretty good looking glossy screen. Those are nice laptops to work with by the way.

What usually happens is that the cable from the LCD to the system board gets loose or crimped. You would need to take the bezel along the top of the keyboard off and then inspect the cable and /or re-seat it.
