i have a presario 700 and am wandering if there is away to directly acces the back of the screen with out taking it out. like takeing off the front of the laptop?

Yes, it’s possible. It’s not necessary to remove the display. Follow steps 1-5 and you should be able to do that.

I recently turned on my laptop and the screen was black. After a while when it booted up, the screen came on as normal and then flashed out about 10 seconds later. I can shine a torch on to the screen when it boots up and see windows and everything but it’s obviously too dark to use. I replaced inverter and lcd panel but the problem remains…

How should I go about fixing this?

Is it still turning on for about 10 seconds with the new screen and inverter and fails after that?
This could be faulty video cable or motherboard related issue.
I cannot tell without testing the laptop with KNOWN GOOD parts.

I am having compaq v5000 presario laptop. I have purchased it almost before 8 years and now somehow the hinges has broken. I need to replace the complete body housing of it. So can you please tell me where can I get it?

Here’s official service manual for Compaq Presario v5000 notebooks.

Find the part you need, find the part number and google it or search on eBay.

I have compaq laptop. When i opened it initially for a time of 1-2 min its display shows properly but after a minute around, its display got very very fainted and can visible in complete dark. I shown to the HP center in Agra, they said that Laptop LCD have to be replaced. Can you please tell me the exact cause of this problem. I dont think so that there is any problem in LCD or LCD cable ?

What should i do, please help?

I don’t think this is LCD cable failure.
Most likely it’s one of the following:
1. Could be bad connection between the video cable and inverter board. You can try reseating the cable before replacing parts.
2. If reseating the cable doesn’t help, try replacing the inverter board. The inverter board located below the LCD screen and works as a power supply for the backlight lamp. When inverter fails, the backlight fails.
3. If replacing the inverter board doesn’t help, most likely you have failed backlight lamp inside the LCD screen. In this case you’ll have to replace the screen.
