compaq 3000 - Machine works fine, Screen shows blank white display

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi All,

I have a Compaq 3000 Laptop, it's almost 2.4 Years old now, over the period of time I dint faced any issues with my Machine.it all started yesterday.
I was watching a movie on my Laptop yesterday, after sometime the screen froze up but the movie was playing as I was able to hear whats going in the movie.

Later I tried restarting the machine, what i get is the machine boots up properly, but the screen doesnt display anything thing, it shows up a blank white screen, sometime when the windows XP loading picture comes up the screen shows light distorted colors but again goes white blank.

I did approached a local vendor for that but he says that we need to replace on the motherboard, I was not much convinced over his explanation over the issue.

I would like to know your views on what might be the problem with my Machine.
I am going to try over connecting an external monitor and see if LCD is the problem, but I would like to know more what all possible options are there which might be affecting my machine and how much would it cost me in the worst possible case.

Hoping for a Positive reply, as off everything has gone Negative my way

Thanks & Regards,
Riax

First step to do is connecting your laptop to an external monitor to verify the problem only for the LCD.

White sreen: lcd is not received video signal. If you disconnect the LCD cable you will see the white screen when windows runs: the backlight lights up the LCD and no video signal.
Possible causes in order that likely happen:
1- Bad LCD cable
2-Bad LCD
3-Bad motherboard

Try first with LCD cable as it's the least expensive part.
