Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>general (more info?)
Hello and thanks for any advice. I have an HP Pavillion laptop (model ZV 5260
-- XP Pro). The problem is that my main monitor is going black after a few
minutes - but my external monitor is working fine. When I hibernate the
computer, I can log back on, but the screen looks a "reddish" color for about
20 seconds and then returns to a normal color. But then after a few minutes ,
my monitor will go COMPLETELY black (no backlight or anything) while my
external monitor is still working fine. I am running a NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go
64M 72.30

Any help is greatly appreciated as I am pretty strapped for $$ and I would
like some good direction before I get yanked by some repair shop etc..

Thanks again for any advice. Please feel free to e-mail me at

Since an external monitor works fine, everything points to your LCD
screen. You're definitely gonna have to succumb to getting "yanked by
some repair shop".

This is not the place for this kind of message but since you and I are
here... Check for a backlight lamp for you screen, this is most likely the
problem. Google it you can replace it yourself if you are handly and
confident about taking apart a laptop. Direction may be found online also.

Why ask here? This is a pure hardware problem that has nothing to do
with XP.

Ask elsewhere
