Evo n1020v screen problem

It depends on how "adaptable" the mounts on the "surround" of the LCD screen, i.e., whether the one "surround" was used by COMPAQ for both 14" and 15" LCD screens, or whether the part-numbers were different.

This is a hardware problem that will require repair. Please contact yor manufacturer for assistance.

Please uninstall all the USB Drivers from the Device Manager and then restart the Computer. The USB Drivers are Operating System generic Drivers. The Computer will reinstall the Drivers for USB automatically

Hey,

Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,

"tried to" do you mean it finished installation and it was succesful? I doubt that

I think you realy have to do the installation again
the best way is to delete all partitions and format
after.

Try disambling the system. Clean it with a wind blower. Check BIOS battery capacity. Replace if possible. Power on the laptop. Do you hear humming sound from hard disk ? If you hear sssssssshhhhh sound from hard disk; it's OK. Replace RAM with new one. If problem still exists Than change main board. Hope that not happen. Keep informing.

First conclusion: This is not a software fixable problem. If your notebook is still in warranty, I suggest you to RMA it. No doubt somethings broken.

It can be inverter boad, so try to find someone who have got the same type of model so try to change the inveter the see what will happen.Or try to check the cable if its well connected on the motherboad of the computer.

Mr CPU.

I'm not sure what good getting into safe mode is going to do?

More than likely this is a hardware problem - If you have already tried different RAM the next thing would be CPU. You may be able to just reseat the CPU in it's socket to help things out.

On the N1020v to access the CPU, you just have to remove 2 screws underneath the power button strip and then the keyboard just pops up. Remove the heatsink and the CPU is right there. If you want to replace it use the part number on the CPU itself (something like SL245)

To forewarn you though - i have worked on these laptops many times and more often the problem is a failing motherboard than a bad CPU or RAM. However it is worth a shot at fixing it if it just needs a CPU.

Good luck!

If the power saving settings on the screen brightness is ok, then the backlight on the screen maybe on it's way out.
