I let it sit for a while an noted the screen came back on as the internal fan inside the laptop quieted down. Then one evening I'm looking up motherboards on ebay to try and fix this laptop and the screen goes white, which at this point is to be expected, so I prepare to shut the laptop down for the evening. I know laptops can run hot and this is my first one so I thought, I guess that's normal for this brand/model. And by that I mean if I my hand or arm would graze the VGA port after the laptop had been running for a while it would burn my skin. I've noticed since I've gotten the laptop (it was a hand-me-down from my dad and again, passed warranty) it get's incredibly hot. The laptop by the way isn't under warranty anymore, I wish I could just send it off to HP to get it fixed. Is this true about the built-in inverter? I read a few posts online saying that inverter replacement was pretty easy but I guess I just have a lousy model? I did happen to find a cheaper motherboard for my laptop on ebay, but I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing before I purchased anything. He also said that basically it's only going to get worse from here on out. He told me my only recourse was to replace the motherboard which was going to set me back around $400. In fact that the next model up has the replaceable one. The only problem he says is that this particular model has a non-replaceable inverter built into the motherboard.
So the guy at the repair shop calls me and tells me it's the inverter. The laptop has been in the shop for about three days now because it hasn't gone white until today (go figure right?). Long story short, I ended up taking it to a local computer repair place thinking it was either a bad LCD screen, busted inverter, or a bad connection somewhere.
It seemed to happen after the laptop was running for a while, maybe 5 minutes or more.Īlso, when I plug an external monitor up to it, it displays fine. And, it didn't matter if I restarted, lightly tapped the back of the monitor, or let it cool down. Sometimes the image would pop back, sometimes not. Just last month the screen on my HP Pavilion g7 1075dx started going completely white.
