HP Recommended
Product: HP EliteBook 8530p Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

. I bought a used HP 8530P for my wife that was used in a Fl. city gov't.  I already have an HP 8530P laptop that works fine & has a bright screen.

The used 8530P #2 has a dim screen but otherwise worked fine with Windows 10 pro. 32 bit.

First I switched the inverters from the good laptop #1to the dim laptop #2. Screen still dim.

Second I left the inverter in laptop #2 and switched lcd screens from the good laptop #1 to the dim one #2. Screen still dim after laptop starts up and I login.  Put the inverter & screen from the dim laptop #2 into the good laptop #1 and they both work as they should.

So third I I took the entire  video card from the good laptop #1 and put it in the dim laptop #2 and after powering on laptop #2 is till dim.  Put the video card from dim laptop #2 into laptop #1 and screen is as bright as ever.

 

Now I am stumped. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, I have been a COMPTIA A+ tech for 23 years and spent 10 years working in a big NJ city school district fixing hardware & software problems in HP desktops and laptops.

 

Thank.

Jack D.
