Lines on screen
First of all....you need to check the Notebook by connecting it to any Desktop Monitor to confirm whether the issue is with the LCD or with the Graphic Card of the Notebook.
Connect a Desktop Monitor to the Notebook when it is turned on and see that the Monitor is turned on.
Now, hold the FN key and press the F4 key once.
This will toggle the display of the Notebook to the Desktop Monitor.
If the Lines doesnot appear on the Desktop Monitor, the issue is with the LCD of the Notebook.
If the Lines appear on the Desktop Monitor along wtih the LCD of the Notebook, the issue is with the Graphic Card of the notebook.
In either situations, I would recommend you to go for a new Notebook rather than getting the current one repaired since it is a costly affair to get the LCD replaced and you need to change the entire Motherboard since the Graphic Card is soldered on to it.
Do reply if this helps...
very usefull . i kinda knew it cause i connected another screen into it and it worked fine .. very good help just what i needed
I have a zd8000, have had problems with the vertical lines on the screen as well as a faulty battery which overheated and no longer works. After doing some more research, found the HP website to have a recall on some batteries (enter your serial number and find out if yours is part of the recall program), which they said they would send out to me free of charge in 7-10 days. I am still waiting after 7 days!
The other issue with lines on the screen may be related to the overheating of the graphics display, but HP technical support is throwing me around and no one is prepared to take responsibility as it is out of warranty. But it is obvious that the ZD8000 has a design fault and HP should be responsible for its products.
Thankyou

problems with the vertical lines on the screen it started with one line now I have ten lines.
I also have the hp zd8000 and it started with one line and now there are so many that they have run together and cover about a fifth of my screen. This computer is too expensive to be having this problem with so many people. I wish there was something we could do to hold HP responsible.
