HP Pavilion DV5000 Display Problem

[aw2055989]

Here is a pic of the display on my HP DV5000 laptop.  Hooked up to an external monitor it works fine.  I've seen posts that say stuff like inverters, motherboards, etc. go bad.  Any idea what to look for on this one?  thanks.

Have you found out what the problem with your system is?  I have an HP Pavilion DV5000 doing the EXACT same thing, but since the hard drive went out, I can't reinstall Windows XP on it because I can only see the top 1/3 of the screen.  See, even with an external monitor, this system won't recognize the monitor until it's in full windows mode.  Installing windows on this thing would be like flying blind.  Very frustrating.  If only I could get xp reinstalled on it, I do believe using an external monitor also.  Unless I can find a way, this laptop is finished.

 i am too much sure that its a display problem...    so you have to change the display..

i had already face this problem..  i changed my screen Times in warranty period..

this kind of problem is called screen flickering..

I was thinking it was the display, but didn't want to think that because this model is an older laptop, so fixing it (buying a new display and paying a tech to install it) wouldn't be worth it.  For another $100, I could get a brand new laptop.  😞  That's pretty sad.  I was just hoping to hear something different from the original poster of this thread that might have given me a little more hope.  What a pity.  Was a decent laptop in it's time.

Product Name: Pavilion dv5000

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

I have a problem. I have a HP Pavilion dv5000 laptop computer which had original windows XP installed. I bought an upgrade to Windows 7 pro on the internet and the program is working fine except that I can not get the laptop monitor to show anything. I attached another monitor to the computer and it shows everything normally. I have tried to change the drivers to get back to the original with no success. The audio would not work in Windows 7 so I downloaded a windows XP audio program and now that works. I want to do the same thing for the monitor/graphics software but can not do it yet. Does anyone have a solution? Source for the drivers? I have tried all of the standard things such as restore etc.
