Common problem with this model. Check out http://msbin.com for a diy guide. or replace the motherboard.

Hook an external monitor to the video output on the back of your laptop to check for a clean signal, if you get a full picture it means the video graphics is fine, then the LCD screen is suspect or possibly the connecting cable, "graphics card to screen" if on the other hand both screens show the same white problem you have a motherboard issue which houses the video graphics card. A proper estimate would be in order.

Your screen resolution need to be set i am not sure what operating system are you using but you can right click on the screen/ desktop, click on property, click on settings then you will set the resolution to either 1024 x 768 if you still have the problem you can set it to 1280 x 768 this should solve the resolution problem. As for the webcam and the hp media smart you should uninstall and reinstall the software/driver for the webcam and the hp Media Smart if you have the CD with the drivers/software you can use it to reinstall the drivers on the computer this should solve the problem.

Replace the Inverter, rickeyjsmith.

An LCD screen cannot produce enough light by itself. An additional light source is needed.
A Backlight is the additional light source.

A Backlight is a CCFL.
Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp. (Lamp = Bulb)
Similar to Fluorescent lighting used in homes, and businesses, but on a MUCH smaller scale in physical size.
(Average size is 3 to 5 inches long, and half the diameter of a No.2 pencil)

An Inverter is used to provide power to the LCD screen, and the Backlight.

90 PERCENT of the time the Inverter is the problem.

Which is a Good thing.
The Backlight is located inside the metal frame that hold the LCD panel layers together.
Usually on one side of the LCD screen.
{Some LCD screens require Two Backlights}

Replacing a Backlight is a job for a trained repair person.
The LCD screen is a composite of layers.

http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Vikuiti1/BrandProducts/secondary/optics101/

A lot of times the LCD screen is replaced for Backlight replacement, because some LCD screens require this.

Backlights cost more than an Inverter, and of course an LCD screen costs much more.

This is an example of an Inverter for an HP pavilion dv2000 series Notebook PC,

The above is ONLY an example.
An Inverter MUST be matched to THE LCD screen.

Stating Pavilion dv2000 is only stating the series.
The EXACT Product Number is located on the bottom of the laptop in a white Service Tag.
P/N = Product Number

Also, there is an HP part number on the Inverter.
Match the HP part number to the listing for the Inverter you are going to purchase.

A reputable seller will list THE HP part number so that the buyer will purchase THE correct Inverter.

I use a computer pick to ease up on one side of the rubber Screw Covers. You may have a similar device you can use.
If you are careful with the rubber Screw Covers, you can reuse them.
There is a contact cement on the covers.

Lay them down glue side up on a piece of paper.
(They do like to stick to the computer pick, and your fingers, however. Giving you a 'heads-up'.
Try to keep the glue side from picking up debris, however)

If you need guidance, no matter what it is concerning this procedure, please post in a Comment.

One more thing that pertains to the HP pavilion dv2000, dv6000, and dv9000 series of Notebook PC's, that I think you should be made aware of,

Turn the computer off and then as soon as you turn the computer on tap the f8 key repeatedly until you get a black screen that says advance boot menu options ,select the option that says safe mode and hit the enter key .Select the operating system if you have xp or else you need to wait for the page wherein you can put in the password.If it is sucesful then it will take you to the desktop so you need to restore the computer to an earlier time when the computer was working fine.Click on start?all programs ?accessories?system tools and then system restore .(in case of vista simply type system restore in the search bar and hit enter). Once the resotre page opens up select restore my computer to an earlier time and click next.You will get a calander whic has different dates so select a date when you think that the computer was working fine.The date that you select should be in bold.Click on nest next to exit from the wizard and then the computer will restore and then will restart which wil take you to the normal mode.If the restore is succesful then it will take you to the desktop .

If safe mode does not work try with last known good configuration which takes the computer to the date when the computer was working fine.If non of the options work then you can go to the recovery page to do this instead of the f8 key tap the f11 key until you get the system recovery page then click on next to get to a page that says advance option ,need to click on that and then select system restore .This is for xp in vista its the same key (f11) but you get a recovery manager page then you will have to select advance option then system restore .

If these options does not work then recovery needs to be done wherein the computer needs to be formated.

All the best....

Hello there!

We cannot really be sure about the exact problem of your laptop. It can be and for sure a hardware problem. However, I can suggest that you bring your laptop to a service center near you to further check the error.

Video error: the BIOS is unable to access the video system in order to write any error messages to the screen. This is usually caused by a problem with the video card, or the memory on the video card. Since in your case the video chip and memory are part of the motherboard's chipset and it can't be replaced or repaired it means that you will have to replace the motherboard of your laptop.

if that link doesn't work, it's www.download.com or www.drivermedic.com

FOLLOW THESE STEP OF INSTRUCTIONS

Rebootyour computer and watch the opening screen. Right below the progressbar you will see the BIOS version number. Write this down to verifythat you need to upgrade.

Start InternetExplorer (the Dell website uses ASP - Active Server Protocol, which isnot supported in Firefox.) Navigate to "http://www.dell.com". Click"Technical Support" at the top of the screen. Click "Support for HomeUsers" or "Support for Business Users" as appropriate. Click "Drivers and Downloads".

Lookfor your computer's service number. This can be found on a tag attachedto your system. If you have it, click "Enter a Tag", enter the numberand click "Go". If you cannot find it, you can click "Find my servicenumber" to have the Dell website find your number.

Scanthe list of drivers and other upgrades. You can filter this list byselecting "BIOS" in the Category drop-down menu. Note the versionnumber of the BIOS listed. If it is higher than the version number youwrote down for your computer, you will need to perform the upgrade.Click "Download" next to the BIOS listing. When prompted, select "Save"to save the download to your desktop or another temporary destination.Exit Internet Explorer when the download completes.

Makesure no other programs are running. Double-click the BIOS upgradeprogram you downloaded. You will be prompted twice to confirm that youwant to upgrade the BIOS. When the program completes, the system willautomatically reboot to load the new BIOS. You can verify that you havethe new version by watching the initial boot screen. When the upgradeis complete, you can delete the downloaded upgrade program.

0XE0EF000E is an error message and means that the boot sector is corrupt or missing.
Re format the hard drive is the easiest way to recover and then restore your data backups.
Place your Windows install disk in the dvd drive and boot up the laptop. Follow the prompts and if the menu asks if you wish to repair your version of Windows, select that option. It may work depending on how corrupt the system is. You may have to let Windows re format and start again.

Theres a good chance your having Mother Board issues and it will need to be replaced.

Please follow the diagnosis outlined in this article to check whether the backlight lamp or the inverter board are the root cause of the problem or not:
http://www.fixya.com/support/r6430776-troubleshooting_laptop_power_failures

If you connect the external monitor & nothing is displayed on it, then this means that both the backlight lamp & the inverter board are fine. The main indicators in these cases are the sound, and the hard drive LED on the laptop case. If the laptop sounds just like it always does for a minute or two after being turned on, it means it's going ahead and booting the operating system, but the video processor or part of the motherboard circuit for video output has failed. If the laptop just sits there and beeps when you turn it on, or if you hear the fan but not the hard drive chuckling with its active LED flashing away, it means the laptop isn't getting as far as trying to boot the operating system. While this could be due to any number of hardware problems, the most common and easiest to
troubleshoot or repair is RAM failure. If your laptop has two RAM modules installed, try booting with just one and then the other in the primary slot. If your laptop only has one RAM module, you might consider buying one online from a site with a good memory selector, like Crucial.com

The motherboard is cooked. There is a fix that might work breifly if you need to try and salvage your files. 1 power on. (lights and fan are running but nobodies home) place thelaptop in a bag for about 20 min. (it will get really hot) now hold down the power button unroll it is off. Now try booting. Sometimes holding down f10 as you power on helps.
