hp pavilion dv1520us screen wont turn on

When I push the turn on button the lights turn on except for the screen it stays completely black. What might be the problem?

Welcome to the HP forums! 🙂 It is a great way to engage, post questions and find resolutions by working with specialists in the HP community. I reviewed the post and understand the computer screen does not work. I’ll be glad to assist you here. 🙂

Hi @blancay,

At the outset, you’ve diagnosed perfectly. Excellent job on that score. Kudos to you. It is always a privilege to work with technically savvy customers. I take it as a privilege to share this platform with you. We value your relationship with HP and wish to serve you better. 🙂

First off, it looks like a hardware issue with the computer. Let’s isolate the issue correctly.

Please visit this link: http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03518165 for further assistance. Try to perform the steps in this link. Please try to hook up the computer to an external monitor like the desktop monitor to further isolate the issue. This computer is an older product and has been retired. So if service is required, I request you to contact a technician locally to get the unit fixed if it is not too expensive.

Hope this helps. Let me know how this goes. I genuinely hope the issue gets resolved without hassles and the unit works great. Please reach out for any issues and I'll be there to assist you.

Thank you for answering my question I really appreciate it. I have taken it to a tech to diagnose it and it's better for me to just buy a new laptop. But it's appreciated when people like you take the time to answer questions about a problem someone might be having. Thank you again!
