“Steven,
Maybe you should install the old cracked LCD screen back into the laptop and find out if the backlight still works?
If the backlight works on the old screen but not on the new one, apparently the new screen is defective.”

I sent a message to the seller of the inverter asking if it had been tested before shipping, and got the response ”
Thank you for time.
It is our honor to serve you.
So sorry for the inconvenience.

For this problem, we can offer exchange or refund as for compensation.
But first, would you pls help me to check it ?
Would you tell me the PN number for your before inverter or the original inverter?
I will do my best to solve the issue for you asap.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Looking forward to your reply.” so I think I may end up doing an exchange and seeing if the inverter is bad. The cracked screen is at my parents’ house, and won’t be able to get it back from them at least until this next weekend, unless I somehow see them by then

fred,

the procedure is the same for a hp Pavilion dv2000?.. my lab top does not want to start.. every time that I tried to turn it on, it stays there with the screen all black but the lights of the keyboard on. It seams like starting but it does not do anything. I tried to take the battery off pressing the power bottom for 15 sec. and it worked for a few time.. one time it just spot working. do you have any idea of what it can be?

Here are instructions for replacing the LCD screen in an HP Pavilion dv2000 notebook but I don’t think you have a problem with the screen.

First of all, try removing memory modules and installing them back in place. Try starting the laptop with only one memory module installed, maybe one of the modules is bad.

If nothing helps, probably it’s a known issue with the video chip failure. HP knows about this failure. Read the post (follow the link). Maybe you can fix it at no charge.

This post explains how to fix video failure in HP Pavilion dv2000, dv6000, dv9000 notebooks. Haven’t tried it myself. Proceed at your own risk if you have nothing to lose.

Before the old screen cracked, everything worked just fine. My son (4 at the time) dropped it or knocked the laptop off the bed. That’s what caused the screen to crack.

Steven,

I followed your instructions to replace the screen, which was cracked. When everything was plugged in, I could see a picture on the new screen, but it was VERY dark. I then bought a new inverter, replaced that, and still have the same problem. There is a picture there, but VERY dark.

Did you see backlight on the old cracked LCD screen?

Thank you so much for the directions on replacing a LCD screen. I was really nervous taking the screen out but everything went well and my new screen looks great.

Thanks so much for a prompt reply.

Yes, its a DV6000, but a Canadian version – dv6746ca (I’m from Canada). The problem with that is that it’s not under that recall(meaning the serial number is not under recall:( ). Should I be calling HP instead maybe?

The screen shuttering is not SUPER bad, but it’s noticeable.

Anyways, thanks again for this tutorial!!!!
