Hi there,
I was promoted to upgrade my BIOS by HP Assist. and everything seemed to have went well until after the hp logo screen. The screen was completely blank. I tried to search for the solution on my own and tried resetting my laptop and restoring the BIOS to default, still have a black screen. I noticed that everything else seemed to be running so I decided to plug my laptop into my television via HDMI port and it seems that the laptop display is the only thing that isn't working properly. Any solutions or suggestions? I'm in the process of downloading my graphic driver again to see if that could fix the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
