I have a dv9000 . the screen lights up however i do not get a display. i hooked it up to an external monitor and i get an image however the image is messed up and different colours. i know i need to replace the motherboard or do a reflow although my question is ...
if im getting some sort of display on the external monitor, should i be getting something on the laptop one ? if so i could also have a broken screen to deal with. is it possible that i can get a bad display on an external monitor but nothing on the laptop due to a faulty chip ? or should i get a display on the laptop if im getting a display on the external ?
I dont want to have changed the motherboard to find out that the screen is also damaged. for the price to fix both would near enough be the cost of a new laptop. i dont mind replacing the motherboard but i dont want to replace both. is there any way that i can test the monitor on the laptop to see if it works ?#
