Title: BLACK SCREEN WHEN POWERING ON LAPTOP
Post by: jess1989 on July 24, 2009, 07:21:19 AM

Hello, I have a  HP dv6500 with windows vista. When I press the power button the fans start and the light turns on also the CD drive opens when I press the button. It seems the laptop is on but the screen stays black. Can someone help me please?

When you turn the computer on, try moving your screen to different angles and try to see if there is ANYTHING on the screen.
It's possible the blacklight has burnt out.

What happened before this problem?

Hi mate can you please start your own thread as your problem may not be exactly the same as the original posters. It's just courtesy.
