I have a Toshiba laptop and haven’t ever droped it or scratched it. But when I turned on the screen a black line going diagonally in a curve about a half inch thick showed up and well anything bellow that line shows up except continuous white pixel lines and if I angle the laptop on a certain amount disappear each time and even then it’s blurry where they dissappear. I have turned it of and on three times to no success what do I do?

I am swapping out a dead LCD screen in an HP DV9700. Since it is a dual bulb screen is it possible to replace the dead screen with a single bulb screen if I also swap out the inverter board?

I have a Toshiba lap top, and the screen has been severely cracked after it was dropped. I have a lot of confidential info on the laptop and can’t send it for repair with this info on. The screen is so damaged nothing can be seen but it all seems to be powering up ok. The lap top is only 1 month old so desperate for a solution!

Thanks

I dropped my HP dv4000 and now the screen is cracked inside. I need to get come files off of it. How do I bought a VGA cable to hook into a desktop monitor. How do I pull up my laptops screen on my desktop?

Lucas Nummulus,

When I completed the reassembly step by step and tried to turn on my laptop it just won’t. When I press the power it starts the fan for a second and when I press it once more and it begins to start but after a second or two it dies.

1. Check the processor. Make sure the processor is seated correctly and the socket is LOCKED. Unlock the socket, reseat the processor and lock the socket. Test if it helps.
2. Memory modules are not seated correctly. Make sure the memory module is installed properly. Reconnect the memory module just in case. Test if it helps.

The fan was too loud, laptop had a tendency to over heat and suddenly shut down and was unable to start up for 15 minutes and later when I shut it down it left a message on a blue screen:

STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The windows log on process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0×00000000 (0×00000000 0×00000000).
The system has been shut down.

Lucas Nummulus,
What was the original problem? Why did you go through all these disassembly steps?

I have disassembled my HP nc2120 laptop following the HP’s manual. I’ve removed the battery, disassembled the hard drive, removed the external memory module, mini PCI communications module, optical drive, keyboard, but was unable to remove the switch cover and the led board because I don’t have the screwdriver,removed the fan and heat sink and cleaned them both. Removed the processor, didn’t remove the modem (because of the switch cover), removed the internal memory module and the RTC battery and tried removing the top cover but was unable (but I tried) because of the switch board and when I was screwing it back one screw was unable to hold tight and later some plastic fell out from the laptop. I didn’t replace the paste between the processor and the heat sink.
When I completed the reassembly step by step and tried to turn on my laptop it just won’t. When I press the power it starts the fan for a second and when I press it once more and it begins to start but after a second or two it dies.
Is there something I could do to resolve this problem?
