I have a Compaq Presario R3000. One morning it worked just fine, next time i turned it on... nothing. Hooked up to an external monitor... it works... a faint image on the screen is visible of whatever webpage i am looking at. tried the brightness levels an got nothing.. any help is welcome!
Maybe the problem is connection cable between monitor n cpu, try to open n close your monitor. then try on again, if not u have to bring service center

You need to enter your bios at pos, look for the video settings, the setting should have three options,onboard, vga or both you will need to either choose vga or both.
1. Remove all USB devices such as printers, mp3 players etc etc.
2. Remove the power-cable and the battery
3. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds
4. Put the power-cable back in but not the battery and none the USB devices.
5. Turn the computer on
Sounds like the auto-dim in the BIOS is set too low. Fortunately the Compaq R3000 allows you to adjust the brightness right from the keyboard. Hold down the [FN] function key while tapping the [F8] key will brighten the screen, while [FN]-[F7] will dim it. The settings are different for running on AC power and battery, so you must do each individually.
If you already replaced the inverter and the screen still continues dark, you need to replace your lcd screen. Your video card is good due you have signal with external monitor.
does the fan work ok? and do you have a laptop holder for it or you just have it on a desk ....get a laptop holder for it if you do not have one and as for the rest goto the power mangment area on the computer and see if the monitor might be on stand by after a few min ...
lets check a couple of things. I'm sure you know that a laptop can be hooked up to a external monitor or projector, There is a button usually F5 Or close to it that will turn your monitor off and send it to the external one. In some models of toshiba this will stay in effect even when you turn it off. You can toggle this setting by holding the FN key down and pressing the appropriate "f" key. try this first before you chuck it. There also may be a problem in the bios. Let me know how it turns out. Take care..Be mucho blessed... Mark
how often does it do this? if it does it every time you turn it on, then its a software problem/error. if this has happened once and it wont go on again, then its dead! take it back ASAP, btw good shoice of laptop, once its working!! :)
