Pavilion dm1 notebook
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

I went to boot my hp Pavillion dm1 but the screen was blank, I tried a few things to fix such as removing the battery, removing the mains and rebooting. Also tried removing the Ram and re inserting it. After that the screen went from blank to half white/half black. See the photo I've uploaded. Can anyone help?

@Jonathandrink92 Here's what you need to do, to identify the issue and resolve it accordingly:

  • If not done already, check if it works fine on the BIOS screen to identify if it's either a hardware or a software issue:
    • If it works fine on the BIOS (Accessed while tapping F10 during a restart) it's a software issue & I suggest creating a new user account to check if that works better, for starters)
    • However, if it doesn't work within the BIOS either, I'm afraid it's a hardware malfunction.

While you respond to that, I have a few more steps that should help: 

Perform a power reset (no data loss) using these steps: Click here, proceed to next step if this works

Attempt to run a test from the HP hardware diagnostic tool, using this link: Click here for details.

 

If the issue appears on the diagnostics, it could again, determine a hardware failure,

If they don't appear on bios & the hardware tests passed: please update the BIOS & Chip-set drivers from the HP website using this link: Click here

No bios and nothing working, it works through hdmi to my tv so I believe it's a hardware issue. Gunna have to wait until I have to money for a replacement! Will use the tv if I need to for now.

@Jonathandrink92 I'm afraid you are right, and when you are ready to get the replacement/repair done, I suggest you talk to HP support and discuss your options, follow the below steps to get started:

 

1) Click on this link - http://www.hp.com/contacthp/

2) Click on Sign-in or select the product using the below step:

3) Enter the serial of your device.

4) Select the country from the drop-down.

5) Click on "Show Options".

Fill the web-form, to populate a case number and phone number for yourself!

 

Also, if you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty, if yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from, 

here's how private messages work: Click here for details.

If you wish to thank me for my efforts, you could click on "Accept as solution" on my post as the solution should help others too.
