Hello, I've had my HP Compaq 610 T5870 156 WH248UTABA for some time now, and the screen has suddenly gone white. I can still hear music from the computer and the windows 7 desktop still operates. I plugged it into a TV using a VGA cord and the display works fine. I'm not sure what to do.

hi i found this site for you hope it helps How to Fix EXE Errors

What do you mean by fix? Is it physically broken? It's attached to the motherboard so you'd have a time fixing it.

hi if your running windows 7 try this link Compaq 610 Windows 7 Drivers x86 32bit GetDriver
failing that and being xp you will find it on there

You have to download an add-on from the available software downloads for your device on the website.
All you need to do is to follow the link below and scroll down to the Driver-keyboard, mouse and input device section.
Download the first file that says Synaptics TouchPad Driver.
After download, install the file and restart your computer. This would help you use your touchpad scroll again.
Hope this was helpful? Please comment for more information and thank you for using FixYa.

the issue with mouse pad its by over heatingand memory clog its like some times get stuck..

Hie there i have installed and reinstall Win 7 Ultimate on Multiple Compaq 610's without any problem.
i once encountered a prob like this one but was lazy so i removed my Hdd and formatted it elsewhere and Walaa my prob was gone. i didn't have to upgrade or downgrade my bios and am still using the same laptop 2day. Just make sure you DVD rom aint damaged.
good luck

scan with a good virus scaner

hI,
if the screen is completely white the problem could be a bad LCD cable. To cross check if the problem with the LCD or the motherboard. Connect an external monitor to the laptop. Tap the Fn + F8 key together to get the display to toggle to the external monitor if the display comes on the external monitor without any problems the problem is with the LCD and you would have to take the laptop for repairs.

Thanks for using Fixya
