Hmm i'm having a similar problem with my sony vaio.
There is several things that could be the cause. Is the laptop getting very warm? are the fans spinning?
I would try a bit of compressed air in the air vents to see if that improves anything. Also if you have 2 ram sticks, try using just one, and try both ports. some times the connections are a little funny. Other than that I would take it all apart add one compoent at a time, its possible that something has failed

Cq50-215nr screen not working
Hook a spare monitor to the video output usually on the back, if picture okay, the inverter board just below the LCD is the most likely cause, or the backlight behind the display is gone. However if both show the same symptom it is the video graphics card.

Compaq Presario CQ50-110US 15-inch Laptop dropped will boot but no video
Your laptop may have a combination of problems. Since the laptop was dropped, it is possible that your may a motherboard that no longer outputs video through the video controller, or the screen may have been damaged internally. Try hooking up an external monitor through the vga output of your laptop, usually located on the side or back of the laptop. If the external monitor works, then most likely it is your screen that's bad, if the external monitor doesn't works, then most likely it is your motherboard that's bad.


Let me know if this helps.

Horizontal lines on screen HPCQ509
Lines on the screen are usually caused by a hardware malfunction in either the lcd, lcd cable or the GPU.

Do the lines appear immediately after power up the computer? Or only when Windows starts?

Can you hook the laptop up to an external monitor to test?

How long have you owned this laptop?

FS050UA , COMPAQ PRESARIO NOTEBOOK PC CQ50-210US the screen has lines and a black spot
Hi,
Turn on the notebook and press F10 to get into BIOS screen. Even if the lines and the black spot appears then the issue is with the internal hardware of the notebook.
To check further connect an external monitor to the notebook and press Fn and F4 keys on the keyboard to get the display on external monitor. If the external monitor display is fine then the issue is with the LCD screen or else the issue is with the Video card of the notebook.

Laptop screen
Have you tried hooking up an external moniter? If so do you have video on that moniter? If you do have video on the external moniter then you most likely have a bad inverter or a bad lcd panel.I would replace the inverter first because it's not very expensive.If that doesn't work then you can replace the lcd panelAnd if that doesn't work you have problems at the system board level.
