Black\Grey screen when opening Lid

[Clarkie52]

Hi all

When I open the lid of my HP Omen the screen displays black or grey. Sometimes the back light comes on and sometimes it doesn't. If I open and close the it sometimes can be hard to wake up and I have to restart holding down the power button. If I leave overnight and leave the lid open it fires up without a problem 

What I've done is reinstalled windows twice. Plus factory reset through HP recovery. Tried the disable app readiness updated all drivers done all the hardware test with no problems. Disconnected the battery and removed the ram

On latest Nvidia driver

I've adjusted settings of what the screen should do when I open the lid 

At a loss now. Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

But the screen is fine when I'm in recovery or the bios screen. No problem when opening and closing the lid

Could you check if it works in safe mode? Refer to the document https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03439317 for help.

Also, perform an extensive system test-

1. Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.

2. Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second.

When the menu appears, press the F2 key.

3. On the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) main menu, click System Tests.

4. Click the Extensive Test.

5. Click Run once, or Loop until error.

While the test is running, the time remaining and test result for each component are

shown on the screen.

6. If a component fails a test, write down the failure ID (24-digit code) so you have it

available when you contact HP Customer Support. The information is also available in

Test Logs on the main menu.

Keep me posted.

Hi TEJ1602

I ran them tests a few weeks ago and there was no errors.

When in safe mode the opening and closing of the lid there is no problem. The screen stays on it doesn't go black.

I understand your concerns.

Have you tried with an external monitor?

Please perform the below steps and check.

Hard Reset:

1) Shutdown the computer.  

2) Unplug all the Adapter and peripherals connected.  

3) Remove the Battery. ( not for Built-in Battery computer ) 

4) Press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds.  

5) Plug-in the Adapter and put the Battery back into the computer if it's a (removable battery)

6) Try to turn on the computer and check, If the issue persists continue next step

Set BIOS default and restart:

1. Restart your notebook.
2. During startup, press F10 repeatedly until the BIOS menu is displayed.
3. Once the BIOS menu is displayed, press F9 to restore factory defaults.
4. Select Yes to confirm.
5. Press F10 to save changes and exit.
6. Select Yes to confirm.
7. The computer restarts using the default settings.

Have a nice day!!

I already disconnected the battery and removed ram. But that was with the other problem I had and I done it a few weeks ago maybe longer. Will give it another go soon and report back.

Also have reset bios.

Thanks for your input
