HP/Compaq :: DV2000T Screen- Overexposed, Pixelated
Jul 9, 2009
I ran into a screen problem on my 2.5 years old HP DV2000t laptop. At first, upon powering up one day, the screen went very dim, barely visible. Upon restarting the computer a couple of times, the light came back on (somehow) but the colors are now very odd: overexposed and washed out and with pixels visible throughout, like on older TV screens. The problem seems related to hardware, as tapping the screen changes the lighting slightly, either a tad darker or lighter. When the screen was dim, I was inclined to think that a backlight lamp needed to be replaced, but not now with the light back on. Can the problem be due to the malfunctioning inverter board? Other possibilities and solutions?

I've been having trouble with the screen on my HP Pavilion dm4 2070 USA. Half of my screen has some green/blue dots on it. when i open a webpage you cannot see the dots. This is the first time this has happened.
This happened suddenly. I don't know what to do.

Running Win XP on dv2000t. The Windows shutdown menu has 3 options which are RESTART, TURN OFF and STANDBY. When I click STANDBY the computer appears to turn off. I can't get it to turn back on except by restarting with the power button. Is there some special key combination I need to know? Apparently the computer shuts off when I click STANDBY.

So I came home today to find that my beloved HP dv2108tx that worked perfectly well last night just died on me. When I turned it on, the power did run but only gave a blank black screen and emitted 3 screeches after that (1 long one followed by 2 short ones).
I got so nervous because there's so much valuable information in my hard drive. And so I googled and googled and surprisingly found out that about a million other HP users out there also faced this same problem as I did. In fact, I should consider myself lucky that mine lasted as long as 2 years and 3 months.
A few websites I found suggested replacing the Mainboard e.g

[url]
The problem is, this could very well cost me $300-$400 and based on previous posts, it seems that this mainboard replacement might not be long-lasting.
what I should do?
1) Invest on a new mainboard...and hope for the best that this time it willl last for another 2-3 years
2) figure out a way to fix this myself without replacing the mainboard --- is there a way?
3) Just throw away this laptop, forget about it, and curse HP forever
Either way, I will need a way to retrieve important information from my harddrive asap.

My dv2000t came with Vista installed but Vista is now broken and gone and I want to install WinXP instead. I installed XP but XP cant find any network adapter on the laptop. I have an ethernet cable plugged in to the laptop. Prior to this there was no problem connecting to the internet with this machine. Win XP can't find the network adapter therefore I can't use the internet at all. Since this dv2000t came with Vista installed maybe the network adapter requires something not available in XP therefore you can only use it with Vista loaded.
why XP can't find any network adapter on this dv2000t?

This dv2000t came with Vista installed but Vista is now broken and erased. I installed WinXP in place of Vista and I notice many of the hardware devices show yellow question mark icons in Windows device manager. The yellow question mark means no driver is installed for the device. I went to the HP driver download page (using a different computer because no network driver for the dv2000t) and I found MANY drivers for dv2000t hardware devices for which I have no driver. I can't tell which specific drivers I need. For example there are drivers for more than one type of network adapter but I don't know which adapter is in my dv2000t. Also the same situation for other hardware devices with missing drivers: the HP site has multiple drivers available and I don't know which one I need. OK
OK there is a service tag on the dv2000t which says:
SERIAL #: 2CE71317GD
PART #: RM669AV

my dv2000t that I use for school and docked at home now has a blue tint on external monitor.
HP wants to repair, so i have a few options:
1. Pay and repair
2. Get a mini-desktop and use the home monitor with mac mini, no external monitor for laptop(Looking at the Mac Mini)
3. Get a USB-to-VGA or similar (laggy though)
4. New laptop.

I've had this Dell 9400 for 3 yrs now, and I've never had a problem with watching AVI movies using AVI player! Recently I've had problems with the movie pixelating from scene to scene.
I've uninstalled the AVI player and reinstalled it. I've also tried Realplayer and WMP. but they all have the same result! I can watch a dvd with no problems, it's just downloaded movies.

I have a Dell Latitude D620 and lately the screen has been doing weird things. The images will show up pixelated or of a low quality. I plugged my monitor into the VGA port at the back and it shows up fine on my monitor. I just want to know if it's the video card or screen before I buy a new screen.
Uploaded below are pics of the problem.

i broke my lcd screen a few days ago and i got a replacement from ebay. i installed it but i can see the image on my screen but it is verrry dim. there's no back light. so i put the old screen and turned it on and the back light is very bright but the lcd is cracked and messed up. i don't understand how could that be that the new screen is dim and the old one still is bright but messed up.
the model of the laptop is hp dv6605us

I just logged on an my screen is dim. It looks like it's in power saver mode but i didn't set it that way and can't get it to brighten. What gives?
I also have a red X next to my speaker that I can't get rid of either. Am I having a system wide malfunction or are there cornish pixies in my machine?

My friend gave me his broken laptop which is not too old. turion x2, 1gb ram, vista. He said one day he was using it and the screen went black. I turned it on and a fan noose starts but slowly stops. I don't really hear anything from it either. I also hooked it up to a VGA monitor and the it is black as well. Any ideas on what it isand is it easily fixed?

I'm having problems with my hp DV 9500 laptop. It started 2 days ago, on start up my screen is completely red then the windows logo appears with black splayed around the outside edge. When i'm surfing the net some pages are appearing with red patches but apart from this my laptop is working fine. I uninstalled the drivers for the graphics card and re-installed this made no difference. I hooked up an external monitor and that works perfectly,

So my mom is going to buy me the hp dv5t and I have a question about the screen res. If I order the screen with the WXGA 1280x800 can I change the res on the laptop to anything higher to make my icons smaller?

I initially thought that I was experiencing the typical flickering-to-a-faint-screen shot inverter issue, but 3 inverters later and also 2 LCD replacement panels later (managed to come around multiple panels and inverters known to be working), the flickering-to-no-backlight problem persists. No matter which combination of panel/inverter I connect to the unit, the inverters are buzzing. (Hooking the unit to an external monitor works perfectly still at least.)
Since the LCD has to draw current from the motherboard, is it possible that the motherboard has some kind of problem sending current to the screen or something that's causing all the malfunctioning or even killing all the inverters I had?

my screen on my laptop broke as in spider web broke. I have a Compaq Presario V6500Z and I want to know if the Current model HP screens (for example HP Pavilion DV6113US screen) are compatible and interchangable with the compaq since both companies share the same parts.

I've been looking at the dv5t laptops with an infinity display. I just don't know what resolution I should get?
I do you reading glasses. But is the size difference that big of a deal between the two?
Which do you think I should get? 1680 x 1050 OR 1280 x 800?

how the 1080P brightview screen is compared to some other good screens on the market? Anyone have a chance to compare this to the Studio 16 XPS 16 inch RGB screen or the 15.6 1080p screens of the Clevo W860cu or M15x (Among the best 15 inch screens on the market).

last summer I was given a HP Pavillion dv5 that had a little problem with his screen:
The part number of the piece is 484363-001, and it seems it has to be WXGA because of the resolution (1280x800). Is there any problem if it's WSXGA instead?

screen problem on a Compaq nx6125.
Some time ago I was helping a friend troubleshoot her laptop which, among other things, wouldn't display anything on the screen. One of the things I tried was to take the display cable from her laptop's motherboard and connect it directly to my nx6125's screen. A bad idea, as it turns out, because after that my Compaq's screen appeared dead as well. Only the backlight still worked, so the screen was entirely light grey-ish when the laptop was turned on.
Hence question one: can something like that kill a laptop screen?
Anyway, I tried a few things to try and isolate the problem on my Compaq. Connecting an external monitor via VGA showed that the video card was fine, as the picture showed up on the external monitor. I also tried taking another old laptop I have and connecting its screen to my Compaq's display cable. Not smart, yes, considering that's how I busted my Compaq in the first place, but that other laptop is basically a brick anyway, with a non-working screen backlight among other things, and I mostly use it for parts. Anyway, the screen showed a faint picture, which leads me to conclude that the display cable on my Compaq is fine and that it is indeed the screen itself that's busted.
Question two: is there anything else I could check, or any repairs to attempt, before springing for a new screen on eBay?
Speaking of a new screen, there are two different ones available on eBay for the nx6125 - XGA and SXGA+. The laptop originally came with an XGA screen, and I wouldn't mind upgrading to SXGA+ while I'm at it, but I want to be sure the screen is 100% compatible.
So question three: are the screens availble on eBay in general, and the SXGA+ screens in particular, a 100% fit for my nx6125?

i've had my dv5t laptop for about 4 months now and had no problems until now... for some reason every once in a while my screen starts to fade colors and i can't see what i'm doing. sometimes it gets really bad and fades until it turns black and gets stuck for a good 10 seconds. i can still continue to do everything, but i just can't see anything.

If you buy a notebook from HP with this screen option, can one be assured that the physical LED panel is free of fingerprints, dust, lint etc before it was closed off with the "infinity" cover?
I've read some bad reviews about this design and a lot of people are complaining about dust, lint, etc somehow getting inside between the LED panel and the "infinity" panel. Also I've heard complaints about the keyboard scratching the "infinity" panel when the lid is closed (there is no space between the "infinity" panel and the keys apparently...
I'm not sure which to get, with or without "infinity?" I like the clean look the "infinity" gives but I don't like the regular screen bezel with regards to the webcam...instead of only seeing a small circle with a lense like you do with the "infinity" panel, you see the entire 'housing' of the webcam in the bezel...it looks kinda tacky to me. Also a lot of people have complained about the "infinity" displays being less vibrant, dull and washed out with HUGE glare issues.
