I have a Compaq Evo N800v laptop with the following:
2.4 GHZ Intel Penitum 4 processor
512mb pc2700 ddr ram
40 GB IDE Hard Drive
Microsoft Windows XP Professional W/SP3
My problem is ... when i turn it on the screen is blank when it boots up, unless i hit ctrl, alt delete ... like 20 times when i go to boot it up then it will work, it is not oviously the backlight because it works at full power when i hit ctrl alt delete a couple of times when it is trying to boot up. There is no vertical or horizontal lines on the screen. I have done some googleing about this model and all i could find was people having lines going through the screen. My laptop is out of warranty. There is no signs of damage on the screen. Could it be the inverter? And before any of you say anything ... no it is not a windows problem so don't suggest i reinstall windows, and do not even suggest it is an antivirus problem either. I have more knowledge about computers than the average user because I am COMP TIA A+ Certified but I was not taught alot about laptops but I at least know i can not the backlight. I don't know what It could be so i am seeking some help/advice on this forum. Thank you for all the help!
