Compaq cq42-176tx blank screen

My compaq suddenly not show any image when i try to start it. I already try to use external monitor and works, i try to replace LED screen with new one but still blank
Anyone can help me?
Sorry for bad english

If you already try replacing the LCD now try replacing the harnes, the PN is 592151-001, this should be a kit that includes the display cable, webcam cable and antennas.
I found one on ebay

Compaq presario v6210US blank screen

I have a "compaq presario v6210US" which worked great for a while then it just shut itself off and restarted and the screen stayed black. Now it keeps restarting itself but the screen stays blakc. I can hear the fan and hard drive and everything else running the way it's supposed to. I heard that this has happened to a bunch of other people so it sounds like a defect to me. How do I get it fixed or do I just pull the hard drive, toss the Presario and get a competitors laptop?

Hello @Sachmo499 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your notebook keeps restarting and displays a black screen.
Here's a great place to start troubleshooting startup issues on a notebook:
Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot.
Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista) or Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8).
If you search for any notebook boot issues or black screen, regardless of the brand you will find this issue everywhere. There are currently no recalls for this product.
If you wish to have the notebook repaired I would suggest calling HP Phone Support for service/repair options. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
If you wish to remove the HDD and connect it to another computer to backup your info, you can follow this guide: Compaq Presario V6000 Notebook PC.
Hopefully this helps!

Unfortunately the product is out of warranty
I also tried a several steps below :
1. Install different kind of OS, i have Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate
2. Update BIOS from Version F.17 to F.24
3. Install latest INTEL chipset utility drivers.
sp49523 Version 9.1.1.1025 Rev. A
4.Reinstall the ATI Graphics Driver -
sp48280 Version 8.711.0.0 Rev. A
All the drivers i downloaded from the official HP Support
http://support.hp.com/id-en/product/Compaq-Presario-CQ42-200-Notebook-PC-series/4150021/model/427628...
5. Install Display Driver - AMD ATI 13.9 Driver for Windows 7 32 bit :
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2268/amd-catalyst-13-9-software-suite-vista-7-32-bit/mirrors
6. Restart the system --> Blue screen and Restart (still with the ATIKMPAG.sys problem)
7. Remove all traces of recent current display driver, CCC etc with AMD Uninstall Utility or DDU - Display Driver Uninstaller. ( in the safe mode, since the BSOD prevent to entering windonws in the normal mode )
8. Re-Install the display drivers
for step 7 & 8 i repeat and roll it over and over again, and i tried several ATI Display Adapter such as :
- Default Radeon HD5430 Driver for CQ42 258VX "SP48280" from the official HP Support
http://support.hp.com/id-en/product/Compaq-Presario-CQ42-200-Notebook-PC-series/4150021/model/427628...
- AMD Catalyst 13.9 driver 32 bit
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2268/amd-catalyst-13-9-software-suite-vista-7-32-bit/mirrors
- AMD Catalyst 14.12 Omega Win 7 32 bit
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2441/amd-catalyst-14-12-omega-win-7-32-bit/
9. Go to the ATI.com. Auto update Graphics Drivers.
Unfortunately The results is still the same... Blue Screen comes up and restart ( Problems with"atikmpag.sys" )
I also tried to delete the file "atikmpag.sys". The results is computer running with standard windows graphics driver.
I do some Harddisk Test, Memory Test.. all perform well.
Running with standard display graphics adapter from windows 7 all fine.. no blank screen, no white screen, no stripes.
Any idea to solve this issues ?
Thanks and Regards

Itunes 9 blank screen

I have a Compaq laptop with windows vista. Since upgrading to 9.0 I only get a blank screen in the itunes store. When I click on the store, the progress bar jumps to about halfway and hangs for a while, then ends, and all I have is the blank screen. Sometimes it says "ITUNES STORE" in the middle, sometimes nothing. I have tried all of the recommendations in apple support. I've also gone round and round with customer support. When I run diagnostics this is what I get.
Connection attempt to Apple web site was successful.
Connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
Secure connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
Secure connection attempt to iPhone activation server was successful.
Last successful store access was 2009-09-15 21:26:04.
One odd thing is that if I am on the blank store screen and I go to -view-show column browser- the browse feature will come up and I can browse.

Hi,
I had the same problem and fixed it myself. I installed Itunes 9.0 and use windows desktop sharing. Initially I thought it had something to do with that as when viewing Itunes on my second screen the Itunes store showed just hyperlinks and a white background. I am not sure if Itunes is linked to your browser settings but whatever is your default browser (you may find IE is your default but you use Safari) it seems Itunes 9 may de-select your proxy setting.
This is the only setting I found was wrong on my machine after install. I am not sure if this was the solution as I also upgraded to Itunes 9.0.1.
It was strange as everything else worked, I could use all other functionality of Itunes so it has to be a connection problem between your pc and apple servers. I would also suggest you check how you are connected to the internet:
* Are you using a firewall, proxy, internet connection sharing or filters on your home router.
* Also it could be that if you are a remote worker your office has blocked connection to Apple servers or implemented new rules on certain traffic which impacts your connection. Try it working via open connection to the internet and an encrypted one using your company VPN.

Compaq CQ42 450TU issues, anyone found any solution ?

Recently got myself a Compaq CQ42 450TU laptop. It is a rather low-end laptop with the Intel Pentium Dual-Core P6200 @2.13GHz and default 1GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM and 360GB HDD. Being a low-end laptop, it doesn't come with any OS (no Vista, Win 7), and comes with FreeDOS. So I've installed Ubuntu Linux 11.04. 1. The Synaptics Touchpad is really killing me, because Synaptics doesn't help with identifying right settings/drivers on Linux, and HP doesn't support any OS, so no support. The touchpad is erratic, because the mouse keeps jumping around all over the screen, at the slightest touch. The Touchpad is just lame and bad ergonomics, since it is flush with the palm-rest area, and any super-mild/accidental touch of a small region of the palm is enough to throw the cursor all over the screen, randomly close windows and what not. This is a major pain at the moment. 2. The area under the left palm where we rest our palm while typing on the keypad, gets fairly hot, unlike anything I've felt so far. This is my 6th laptop (I still own 2 others -- all HP/Compaqs) and no such problem. The temp. gets fairly uncomfortable after using the laptop for a while. This is while using the laptop in a well-ventilated, cool room (airconditioned), on a hard-surface (i.e. a glass-top table). Any ideas on how to fix the issues ? cheers, Icarus 

Hi,
Try to Install gsynaptics its a GUI for ubuntu and will allow you to configure your touchpad.
Let me know if it helps

Cq56 240ca no audio reboot to blank screen

No audio device installed also no boot up when I restart.had to turn power off then on to get display.

Hi oneil,
I understand you are having an issue with the audio on your Compaq Presario CQ56-240CA Notebook and that you had a boot issue as well. I suggest Troubleshooting Audio Problems with External Speakers, Headphones, and HDMI Sound Devices.
Here is a link to different sound issues you may be experiencing, this would allow you to choose the most appropriate document based on the description of the title and the details of the issue, in case the one I chose for you does not resolve the issue.
From what you described you got the computer to boot after it wouldn't, if you ever have a boot issue refer to computer wont boot or blank screen.
Hope this helps.

CQ62 Blank Screen on Startup

Hello. The other day my Compaq Presario CQ62 booted up with a blank screen: Turn laptop on-Fan starts up, white power light comes on but nothing appears on the screen.
COMPAQ-Presario CQ62-584037-001
Product Key: [Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums. I am sorry to inform you that your post has needed some editing to remove personal information.]
I have tried:
Testing the Ram Cards (have original card and 2 4GB cards that worked fine before, and have tried each in either slot)
Removing the battery and tried booting with power cord
Removing battery and cord, held down power button for 60 seconds, replugged power cord and tried booting
Connecting to an external monitor (HDMI) and tried the display keys (fn+f4)
But none have worked. I'm out of ideas. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi
No LOGO coming on start up?
Which OS, 32 or 64-bit?
Are you able to enter BIOS for testing hardware from System Diagnostics?
Pressing F8 at the startup could get into the Windows Safe Mode & do the repair.
I think you have tried almost all troubleshooting available, though you may verify them again, go through the documents below:
Computer Does not Start (Windows 7, Vista, XP)
Computer Does Not Start (Windows 8)
HP Notebook PCs - Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boo...
Try reseating the hard drive, if accessible, by disconnecting & reconnecting SATA cable gently and firmly after doing a hard reset, & check again.
If nothing worked, its a no-no situation may be board problem or hardware-related & you may want to Contact HP in your region.

Hello kiranreddy,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that your Notebook is not starting, that you have a blank screen and flashing LED's. I will try to help you with this.
I would like you to start with this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps. This will help to try to identify if the Notebook is providing an error code. If it is, it will also provide steps to attempt to resolve the issue.
Please let me know how you make out with this. If you require further assistance with this please provide the Model and Product numbers for your Notebook. (How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?)
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Caps lock blink 5 times on Compaq 615 laptop, but screen doesn't come on.

My Compaq 615 laptop screen doesn't come on, instead it blinks capslock 5 times. What shlould I do?
It has an AMD Athlon X2 processor, with Radeon 3200 graphics.
I didn't install any new software or hardware recently. All I did was work with the system at night, shut it down, and when I turned it on the following morning, the screen refused to come up, but the caps lock blinks 5 times.

Sorry to hear that. Please refer to the Blank Screen LED Error Codes document from HP Support. It sounds like a "General system board failure." The explanation says to contact HP for assistance. The motherboard might need to be replaced, and you will probably require the assistance of a technician to fix the problem.

New Install - startx results in blank screen with mouse cursor

I installed Arch on my desktop last week with no issues, so I wanted to install it on an old THinkpad R31. Everything with the installation went smooth, but when I try to 'startx' all I get is a blank screen with a mouse cursor that I can move around. I've installed xorg-xinit, xorg-twm, xorg-xclock, and xterm.
I'm not getting any significant errors in the logs, or even the terminal I issue 'startx' in.
I'm not sure what the problem could be...
Here is my output from 'startx'

According to his first post he has both xorg-twm and xterm installed.
I do indeed.
I went ahead and installed LXDE anyways, just to see what would happen. Exact same thing, it looks like everything is about to load but only the mouse cursor shows up. My Xorg.0.log is the same, so I won't post it again.
I do get an error in the console about the openbox menu.xml file missing but I doubt that's related.

I have tried to change the res to the lowest it doesn't work what am i doing wrong please help!!

You can't use a simple VGA to DVI adapter, since VGA doesn't have the digital video signals needed by Apple displays. You need a VGA to DVI converter, such as

Tried installing Windows Vista, cancelled install and now it won't boot from the OEM Vista DVD, all i get is BOOTMGR is missing error... Ctrl Alt Del to restart and when i turn the computer on i get a blank screen and pressing C is not working to boot....

Topic says it all...
My friend started a installation of Windows Vista, but pulled out after deleting all partitions...
So now i power it on, get a blank screen (seems a bit gray because of backlighting, should show the apple logo right?)...
Then after like 15-20sec it will throw out a:
BOOTMGR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I have a OEM Windows Vista DVD in the drive, and i know... Windows 7 is better... but i'm not that fond of stealing software from Microsoft and i have 10 licenses for Vista...
I have tried pressing C while booting up but it doesn't work...
Does anyone here have a magic soloution for me, and no i will not install MacOS on it !!!

Deleting Boot Camp partitions the conventional way will not work . You must use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove a Boot Camp partition. Here is a link to the guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
The way to restart is to hold down the option/alt key during startup* and then selecting the Mac OS. If you have a valid Boot Camp install of Windows it would show up during this type of start up.
* hold down immediately after pressing the power button and until the OS choice screen appears.
To summarize.
1 Use the above method to boot into Mac OS.
2 Download the instructions and read them.
3 Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition.
4 Pick your friends more carefully.

When I click on picture in Photo Gallery...just blank screen...no picture

Hi. I have been doing well with iPhoto until I tried to migrate to Aperture. When I migrated to Aperture, I deleted the iPhoto library in Aperture as I read in the tutorial.
Clearly, I did something wrong. Well, I uninstalled Aperture and will be using that at another time, but for now here is my dilemma.
Since I migrated photos to Aperture, consolidated them with iPhoto and then deleted...
now I open my iPhoto and double click on a photo to edit or view...and nothing appears. Just blank screen. The small pics are at the top but it doesn't open to a larger picture. Where are my photos! Help!

The previews you refer to are the thumbnails in the iPhoto Library - iPhoto creates them when you import a photo.
Aperture has the ability to trash Referenced Files. If you imported the files to Aperture as Referenced and then trashed them from Aperture, are you sure you didn't also tell it to trash the Referenced Files. This would produce exactly the scenario that you describe.

Acrobat XI Pro - I see a blank screen in PDF portfolio

I am not sure what I'm supposed to see but after creating a pdf portfolio and choosing 5 files, all I see is a blank screen. I try to add files again (thinking I did somehting wong) an it says they are already there. Help if you can. I'm new to this program but not to computers. This is what I see after adding files. Thank you!

Hi Dave,
I have the same problem except when I click the button to install Flash (I have the latest anyway) Acrobat hangs.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.
