In reply to Heather. @ Heather, I'm not sure what the key card port area is. Here's the service manual for this model. The manual has complete disassembly instructions and hopefully it will help you to locate the cable and where it's connected.

I have a HP compaq 8510p. My husband and just notice that there is a multicolored cord not connected in the key card port area. We’ve tried looking in the area with a mirror n can’t find what it’s suppose to connect to. This multicolored cord runs under the thin piece of metal and spot you place the key card in. Need help please. Computer won’t do anything.

In reply to Mwewa Matipa. @ Mwewa Matipa, Did you test the power adapter? Does it output correct voltage?

In reply to Mark. Mark,

Compaq 8510p when it starts up i get lines on the display after a short time i get a cloudy image around the edge. After a while it clears up and works good. What can it be.

Test your laptop with an external monitor. If external video works fine and the problem appears only on the laptop screen most likely the laptop screen is failing.

I have followed your advice above to remove the screen inverter on my HP 8510W as the sympton where my screen was working normally and then suddenly started to flicker and then whent black with the very faint image of windows still barely visible and an expternal monitor working perfectly normally.
If when I get a replacement inverter, the problem persists, could it be the screen back light that is faulty and needs replacing and if so where might I purchase one and how is it fitted?
Many thanks,
Chris

In reply to G. C.. @ G.C.

My 8510p display starts very pink/reddish, gradually gets better, becomes completely normal, and then goes black. Works fine with an external monitor. Inverter or backlight? How do you tell?

Sounds more like CCFL lamp failure. I think you'll have to replace the screen.
