David,
I don’t have this laptop in front of me, but I believe it has magnetic lid close switch. There is a magnet somewhere inside the display panel. When you close the display the magnet activates the lid close switch. Most likely the switch is located on the motherboard but I cannot confirm if this info is 100% correct.
Please correct if I’m wrong.

I can say that there is no magnetic sense at the systemboard.

I believe I am having a similar problem. My laptop dropped off the end of my bed and landed upside down from a fall of above two feet. The thing happened to be in sleep mode when it dropped and upon opening it, the resolution was set lower than it should be, even though vista was telling me the resolution hadn’t been changed, and wouldn’t let me set it any higher.
Point is, after I restarted my computer, the screen will not turn on. I plugged it into my TV via a s video cable and it worked just fine there, but the laptop display simply will not turn on.
It sounds like the display shut off may be stuck off… any help?

When I turn on my laptop the screen does not turn on and it restarts about every 30 seconds, I also tried to display using a monitor but that didnt work either… Could the problem be in the Graphic card?

Many thanks for the instructions on changing the screen. I have an HP Pavilion ZD8228EA and, apart from the fact that there are 5 screws each side, rather than 3, to secure the screen hinges to the cover, the procedure was identical. I found that using a magnetic screwdriver was very useful in locating the screws accurately. Thank you for taking the time to take photographs etc to help novices like me - it really is sincerely appreciated.

Johnny,
Could be bad RAM module. If you have two RAM modules installed, try removing them one by one. Test your laptop with each RAM module separately installed into each slot.

the magnetic switch is located at the left hinge. I am not currently looking at the switch but I am using the dv9000 to type this e-mail and recall it being rather small less than 1/2 in square or round and if I remember correctly it has wires attached that plug in to the main board maybe 2″ or 3″ in length.

hi
do you know how to get the 2 covers off the hinges once lcd bezel etc unscrewed and removed? thanks

Max,
You’ll have to remove the keyboard bezel first as I explained in the previous disassembly guide for a Pavilion dv9000.
After the keyboard bezel is removed, you can unscrew the hinge cover.
