blank black screen with a blinking cursor on top right`

Hi,

 

     Hoping someone here can help me.  I tried asking in other forum but no one helped me :smileysad:

 

 

    I have pavilion dm4-1160us and my computer turns on but it has a black screen. the fan turns on too but I dont see anything...its blank seen.  I tried all the options and steps from this site

 

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01443371&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...

 

I did all the tests, memory test, hard disk test, start up test, etc.  it all passes but did not help. 

 

I dont have the recovery discs but I do have the Original Windows 7 64-bit DVD with iso file.  I did try to reboot it with that but did not help.  Also tried F11 key but did not help.

 

what should I do?

There are chances that it could be an issue with the disc. To confirm, can you check on a different PC/notebook if you can boot with the windows disc you currently have?

I just made a new DVD and it works on other computer.  i also read the other posts and made the rescue CD but when I tried to boot with the rescue CD,  It just says "press any key to boot from CD or DVD....."   i pressed enter but nothing is happening.
