Display problem I have a compaq evo n1020v with the 15" lcd, recently the screen is only displaying a third of the screen. I hooked to an external monitor and everything is working properly. Do I have an inverter board issue or a bad lcd screen or is there something's up with the motherboard? (like I said everything is great with the exteral monitor) please help!!! thanks a million! velvet

Here is a link to your manual. What you want is addressed on pages 5-28 and 5-29. It will refer you to at least 3 other sections in the manual for accessing the processor. http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00089939

Plug the cable VGA in to the compac and the laptop. than go to graphic properties and activate your extended desktop. You can also use the monitor as a second one, or clone

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.

Hi,
Take a flash light (seriously) when its on point it at the screen do you see something? I betcha you got a bad back light or a inverter issue.

also you can try to hook up a external monitor maybe? if that comes on then you know you got a display fault.

when in doubt please contact manufacture support or bring it into a local repair shop for a estimate.

If you hear the hard drive spinning and you think Windows is working but you can't see an image then :-
You could have a defective screen - a defective inverter or a CCFL lamp or simply the video cable needs reseating. After reseating the video cable and the problem is still there then :-
To determine if you have a LCD screen or video card problem, read this and follow the instructions.

Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom:

• Screen flashs on red/pink and off.
• Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal.
• Picture flickering with dim display or appear black.
• Picture flickering on and off.

All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp

Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight.

Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

This problem look LCD cable problem. You might need to check the LCD cable conecctions to the Motherboard and to the LCD if it is lose or broken.

You can connect an external monitor. If it displays, the video card is fine.

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