Laptop screen my compaq laptop screen sometimes goes dark. It is approximately 3 years old. I can still barely see that the screen is on, but it is very dark. Usually this happens if I fold the screen up or down. If I leave it up, it won't usually happen. The screen does not flicker or anything else. Any suggestions? Thanks so much. Juli

It seems plausible that by your description the 3 year old turned the darkness on the screen all the way down. So I would try changing your brightness settings to see if that helped. It may also help to restart the computer. If your brightness is all the way up, and restarting the computer doesn't allow you to see anything (even in Post) then something more definitely happened.

When I opened my laptop this morning my computer won't come on. The screen is totally black. I took out the battery and put it back in ---- still nothing. I plugged it in with the power cord --- nothing! What is wrong with my HP Compaq Presario CQ60?

1) Is of all we will go to BIOS screen and check if we get the same screen.if that the case then we need to take the laptop for repair

2) we will go and install the upgraded graphic driver

3) we can try doing system restore

4) we will go and do recovery

Replace your lamp if you had it more the 3 years.

You can try to adjust the monitor settings by the buttons on the monitor, but this usually is part of the natural progression of a monitor dying.

might be going into a powersave after it boots...try checking the power options

The laptop will reduce screen brightness when on battery to reduce the battery consumption. It should happen every time. You can adjust brightness with the fn+f10 but it will be dimmer when running on battery.
