Hp w2207h screen in blank but flashlight shows icons are

The easiest way is to get the HDMI adapter for the Galaxy Tab and connect via HDMI.

tried to hooked up with other monitor just to ensure if the cause is your pc. if the monitor doesn't receive signal it will goes to stand by mode.

Did the laptop boot up all the way except the screen is blank? Do you hear fans running and the hard drive spinning, lights on? If you think it booted except the screen is blank try the steps below.

Shine a flashlight on the dark screen to see if you barely see the icons on the desktop. If so, then the LCD Inverter is bad.

Plug in an external monitor and see if the display shows up on it. It can be any kind of monitor even the old big fat crt monitors as long as it has a vga cable to connect to your computer's vga port. If so that proves your video card is ok. The video will show on most systems when you reboot without you having to do anything. Some systems will require you to hit the FN (Function key) + F1 thru F12. Hold down the FN key then hit the correct key for displaying on the monitor (F1 thru F12). The correct key will normally have CRT/LCD on it or it will have the icon of a display.

If you see no icons by shinning a flash light and the external monitor works, then your screen is bad. If you see no icons by shinning the flash light and nothing shows on the external monitor, then most likely your video card is bad.

Well, at least you got it sorted out and everything is working fine now.

The HP w2207h monitor comes with an Installation Disk (CD)
It has the Drivers on it.
Have you used it yet?

If not pull the disk out, put it in your optical drive (CD/DVD drive), and load the contents.
After it has finished loading restart your computer, if not asked to do so.

When Windows has fulled loaded again, right-click on an empty area of your desktop screen.
Left-click on Properties at the bottom of the list.
Now click on the Settings tab.

Look down at Screen Resolution in the middle. Is the resolution what it should be?
The native resolution?

If not left-click on the slider, hold the left mouse button down, and move the slider left, or right, until the native resolution is what it's supposed to be.
[The slider is the down arrow looking icon on the line in-between Less and More]

Go down to the bottom right, and click on Apply.
Now down to the bottom left, and click on OK.

The native resolution for the HP w2207h is 1680 X 1050 (Pixels)
Should be set to 60 Hertz also. (60Hz)

No sound, checked control panel, it shows all sound at the max.

Sounds like your video card is failing. If the video is internal to the motherboard, get a video card and add it to the motherboard if there is an open video slot available

you have to configure your sound at control panel; you have to switch from computer speakers to external, with or without a woofer. Easy shreazy.
