Hi @sanjana1013,
Thanks for engaging in HP support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips! I understand you are having issues with the screen display on your HP notebook. Don't worry I'll be really glad to help you with this.
To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:
Could you provide me with the exact model of the notebook? Use this link to find it: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03754824 (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).
Have you recently made any software or hardware changes on the PC before the issue started?
Did it happen after a recent software or update?
Have you checked if the screen changes to yellow even in the Bios?
In the meantime, let's try these step here: Perform a Hard reset on the notebook:
Many startup errors and other problems can be resolved by decreasing the amount of power stored in hardware components. Decreasing stored power is sometimes referred to as a "Hard Reset". Use the following steps to perform a hard reset on a computer:
-
If Windows is open, click Start and then Shutdown.
If Windows is not open and the computer has power, press and hold the power button on the computer until the computer shuts off.
-
With the power off, disconnect the power cord from the back of the computer.
-
With the power off and the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. The power light indicator on or near the power button might turn on briefly but then go out.
-
Reconnect the power cord and turn on the power.
Step 2: Connecting an external monitor to test the display
The notebook screen display might remain Yellow when there is a corrupted graphics driver or a problem with the LCD display back light. To test the display, attach an external monitor and restart the computer. Testing with an external display is helpful if the notebook display is black/Yellow but you can hear sounds; such as fans, spinning drives, or beep tones that indicate the computer is operating.
Step 3: Boot the computer into the Bios screen and check if the screen color changes.
1. Turn off your computer
2. Make sure you have connected the power cable
3. Turn on your notebook, as it is starting press the F10 button repeatedly
Once you are in the BIOS, if the screen color changes, it is likely a hardware failure. The next two steps may resolve the issue. The first one is to do a hard reset. I have included the document 'Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset'. The next and final step is to perform a BIOS update. I have included the information here for you 'Updating the BIOS' as well as updating the graphics card drivers from our HP Support website, using this link.
For more assistance, please follow the steps suggested in the support document for - HP Notebook and All-in-One PCs - Troubleshooting Screen Issues (Windows 10, 8, 7)
If the issue persists after trying out the steps try running a system diagnostics on your PC and check if it the hardware components on your PC is working correctly.
Refer this article to know more information about running system diagnostics on your PC.
