HP Laptop Monitor Problems

Jul 28, 2009 4:19AM PDT

I have a HP dv6000 laptop. My monitor does not work anymore, it only shows static like the old TV's would when they lost signal. I can hear the hard-drive starting up when i start the laptop..how can i figure out what the problem is?
Thanks

Pretty easy to figure out.

Many of the DV6000's are subject to a known failure and recall. Try this link.

Before you ask here what to do about it. The fix is to put in a new main board. I know people often want it to be a reset or reload of the OS but not this time.
