I just this laptop about a couple of weeks ago and recently started doing this, when Im using the laptop in randoms times the screen would turn black but the laptop is still running. I can click and use the keyboard and sounds indicating that I did that would come from the laptop, the only problem is that screen is black. I tried waiting it out and it doesn't go back. The only way I got it to back is to turn off the laptop and start it back up. If anyone knows how to fixed please reply. Thank you.

I tried to update to the BIOS to the F.08 Rev.A but the only options I got when I finished downloading was to save the file on usb drive and copy the BIOS image. The update option was blurred out and I couldn't access it. It said that the BIOS was not compatible.

Hi guys, i've the same problem with my Laptop HP CX0012NL: randomly (almost every day) the screen turns black for a second, then it reappears, but in a unusual black&white, tipical of a phisical problem, and i have to close and re-open the screencover to restore the correct image.
I tried to update with the latest bios but seems to be a factory defect of the panel. My guarantee has expired unfortunately, i didnt sent for assistence becuase the problem has vanishead for some days, but now it is come back. Some suggestion? Thanks

I found the definitive solution, not buying an HP laptop ever again. I sold my desktop PC and buy this laptop back in Colombia, and now I'm stuck in the other side of the world with a laptop that goes black every 5 minutes.
Cheers.
