I have a Compaq Presarion CQ60-114E and I have a Black Screen

I have a Compaq Presarion CQ60-114E and initially I thought I had a completely black screen after I had left my laptop whilst making a coffee. Tried all the usual stuff not such luck. Tried HP they were no help at all this has gone on for 8months now. Today I picked up some info from the HP forum this fix did not work, but I have found that due to the way the light was on the screen there is a display albeit very faint could it be that the backlight on the screen has failed? Or is there something else amiss?

You simply need to replace the screen, and or backlight, it is a relatively easy job, as long as you get a service manual. I usually get my screens from eBay, or similar.

Hi it may be worth pressing the FN+F5 keys just to make sure that it is not in standby


or you could try this


power up and straightaway tap the F8 key a few times
this may take you into the repair option
then choose the last known good configuration
windows will then restart and try to put it back to when it was last working ok

hope this helps you

I have a Compaq Presarion CQ60-249 USA notebook PC it turns on but the screen remains black

If the screen is always and completely dark, but the laptop works on an external monitor, then you have a faulty inverter.

The inverter is the high voltage board that supplies power to the backlight system, and it is often located at the base of the display.

If there is no picture on external display, then the prolem is often the motherboard.

Tweak BIOS to install Windows XP

Shouldn't need any "tweaking". Not sure offhand on the c700, but manytimes the Compaq bios is limited (and I'm a Compaq user - servers, desktops & laptops). What is itexactly that you're trying to achieve? I replaced Vista on my F500 series first with XP and finally with Linux - no problems (other than initially finding drivers). Just make sure to download and build an XP driver disk beforehand and you won't have any problems.

Laptop screen

Hi,

Based on your description, it would appear that your laptop has a defective LCD display screen. This is normally replaceable. In some instances, it could just be a loose connection on the LCD interface/board.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
