Hp pavilion dv6 laptop has a black screen problem.

Hello,  
I dont know how to fix my hp pavilion dv6 laptop. 
The laptop is working,have the necessary sounds after i  
turn it on,but the problem is that the screen stays always black 
..I connect the lap top to tv screen or external monitor and it shows that everything is working properly.
The laptop may have hit a hard surface. The laptop worked well until about 1 week ago when I turned it on and the screen was hazy at first. I turned it off and turned it back on and the screen was completely black but still had the start-up sound. Someone suggested I see if it works on an external monitor and that worked.
Does anyone kow how I can fix the black screen of my hp pavilion dv6 laptop?
I do lots of study with it and have my exams coming up soon. I need my laptop to be mobile with me and not stationed in one place. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello Chi123,
I see that you are having problems with the display on your HP computer. I would like to help with this issue but I need some information.
Can you provide the model and product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find that information.

  • Pavilion dv6885se Laptop Has a Blank Screen

    Hello,
    Having a problem woth my laptop.  First the PC specs.
    HP Pavilion dv6885se laptop
    Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 @2.10Ghz 
    Vista Home Premium 32-bit
    250GB HD
    NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS Video
    Starting yesterday (1/8), the laptop would not boot up.  It shows a blue screen (not Blue Screen of Death) that gives the option to repair or restore the system.  I chose to repair because the restore was going to wipe the hard drive clean and reinstall the base system (factory specs).
    I did this numerous times until finally at startup, I pressed the ESC key.  Then there was only a black screen.  Powering off and back on left the system in the same state:  It was on, but no video.  I connected the laptop to an external monitor, but still no video.  Then after power off/power on a few more times, the screen came up all white.  I watched the screen a few minutes and noticed that it was slowly “drawing” multiple colored lines vertically on the screen.
    I went to hp.com to search for help.  I did see one bit of help.  The thread stated something about “crashing the BIOS”.  To reset it, power off the laptop. press and hold the ESC key before powering back on.  This restored the video somewhat.  I was able to see the screen on the external monitor.  I was back to the blue screen with options.  I did the repair option numerous times and rebooted numerous times until finally the system was up and running.
    While the laptop was still connected to the external monitor, tried changing some of the display settings.  During all of this time while the laptop was plugged into the monitor, the laptop lid was closed.  I just happened to open the lid, and the laptop screen came on.  The laptop screen would never come on after power on, but would come on after changing display options and opening the lid.
    Today, that no longer works the laptop is on, but the only video is using the external monitor.
    Any ideas on what this could be?  Also, if it is the laptop screen, would it be better to get it fixed or replace the laptop?  Thank you.
    Warmest regards,
    Fred Tolan

    Hello fredtolan.  
    This sounds like you may be experiencing a GPU issue or a larger motherboard issue.  The fact that you're having display issues on both the integrated and external monitors would point to this.  
    Had you experienced any other problems prior to this?  BSODs or freezes?  
    I would like you to perform a hard reset first.  This reinitializes the hardware and can solve a wide range of issues.  Try the following.
    Shut down the notebook.
    Remove battery and AC power.
    Press and hold power button for 15-20 seconds three times.
    Replace battery and AC power.
    Attempt to boot notebook and post the result.
    I would also like you to test the RAM and hard drive using the built in diagnostics.  You may not be able to do this as I'm not sure if the pre-Windows loading screens will display on the external monitor.  Follow the steps in this document and make sure to post the results if you're able to run the tests.
    I hope you have a great weekend!

  • Hp pavilion dv6 laptop black screen

    Hi all please is any one help me I have my hp pavilion dv6 laptop.
    The laptop is working,have the necessary sounds after i
    turn it on,but the problem is that the screen stays always black
    ..I connect the laptop to external monitor and it shows that everything is working properly. But It not working on laptop screen what should I do heplllllll

    Hi
    I'll try helping you with this,
    You'll have to give it for repair - display assembly replacement. The display panel might be at fault here as your system works good when connected to external monitor.
    But before that,
    Do a hard reset first --
    Turn off the computer by pressing SHIFT KEY while you click SHUT DOWN.
    Remove the computer from any port replicator or docking station.
    Disconnect all external connected peripheral devices such as USB storage devices, external displays, and printers.
    Unplug the AC adapter from the computer, shut down system.
    Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
    Press and hold down the Power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors that protect the memory.
    Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the notebook computer, but do not connect any of the peripheral devices.
    Press the Power button to turn on the computer.
    Next:
    To confirm, connect it to other monitor & do a full extensive hard drive & memory test from BIOS, tap quickly F2 or F10 soon after powering on the system.
    If all tests are passed, contact HP service center.
    thanks,

  • My HP Pavilion dv6 laptop wont turn on

    My HP Pavilion dv6 laptop does not turn on. Problem with my laptop started couple weeks ago.  At that time, when computer goes to sleep mode after inactive for some time, power light and led lights stays on but screen is black. I can not do anything else but to press power button for few second and force turn off. If I turn on computer right away then computer will have black screen and nothing happens. If I remove battery and wait for few minutes and connect the power cord directly to computer and turn on then it will turn on normally and work until it goes back to sleep again. But now, its not even turning on at all. So far I tried hard reset, plugged in to different monitor and RAM test but no luck. Again when I turn on, caps lock and num lock lights blink and fan turns on and power lights, volume lights and wifi lights stays on but nothing on screen. Thank you in advance for any help. 

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook and having issues with performance. Here is a link to computer will not start.  I would start at the top and work my way down. Mine was fixed with reseating the HDD. Others have had it fixed with just reseating the Memory. Here is a video that shows you how to remove and reseat the HDD and memory. Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues.  You could reset the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. Which has helped others as it restores the default settings. Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

  • URGENT QUESTION concerning Pavilion DV6 laptop charger

    Hey I have a question: I have two HP laptops; one is the Pavilion dv6 and has a charger with the series number PPP009L-E, with input 1.6A and 65W;
    The other laptop is the Pavilion dv6-3236NR, with the charger having the series number PPP009D, with input 1.7A and 65W.
    My question is, can I use the second charger for the first charger's laptop? My first Pavilion dv6 won't charge at all! Could someone PLEASE help me ASAP and tell me if it's the charger's problem, battery problem, or both, and whether I could use the second charger on the laptop!

    Hi Sekhar,
    Well the error code would certainly indicate that the drive has started to fail, but just in case, you could try wiping the entire Hard Drive first and then reinstalling the Operating System as described below.
    Download and install Killdisk on the link below - ( this application will write zeros to the entire drive ).
    http://software.lsoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe
    Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.
    http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html
    Go to the Kill Disk application you have installed in All Programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators and from that select Bootable DOS CD Creator which will burn the bootable ISO to a blank CD.
    During the next process do not worry about any warnings as your Windows 7 installation disc will reformat the HDD.
    Insert this CD in to your PC that is unable to load Operating System properly. Shut the notebook down, then start it again to boot from the Killdisk CD and follow the on screen instructions for Kill Disk.
    A brief description of the process is here Killdisk.
    Use this to wipe the whole of the Hard Drive, highlight (80h) and press f10 ( you will also have to type a confirmation and hit enter ) - ( this will make sure you include all partitions and then start the process - this may take a couple of hours! ). 
    When the process is complete, remove the Killdisk CD and try installing Windows 7 again.
    If it still fails, I think your only option is to replace the HDD.

  • HP pavilion g7-2293nr Notebook PC black screen

    hello here is my issue, i got this laptop christmas of 2012 so my warranty has run out but have had no major problems, sadly 2 days ago i had turned my laptop off and it was working fine no crashes no blue screen or sudden shut downs but it turned off normally, later on in the day i turned my laptop back on and i was greeted with nothing but a black screen
    1 yes i have turned it off and turned it back on
    2 yes i tried closing the lid and opening it again
    3 i tried taking out the battery and AC power cord and holding down the power button for 15-20 seconds
    4 i have taken out the two rams and checked both slots and put them back in
    5 yes i have connected to an external monitor and it shows up and works just fine
    6 i have shined a bright light on the screen and no logo or anything shows up just black
    also on a side note, im unsure if this might of caused it but i think it should be mentioned since it is near the screen,
    before the black screen issue i recently had a situation where the left side of the laptop near the power button has suddenly disconnected and no it didnt suffer any prior damage i just adjusted the screen and it suddenly snapped, i believe the hinge needs to be repaired or replaced but i cant full describe the problem so ill post a picture

    http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j9/hanyou-ren/20140906_044229_zpsyecbzlgp.jpg
    the more i open the screen the further that lifts up, as for the right side everything is fine only the left side has this issue, even so when i first had this problem the screen was working fine still, but my question is could this possibly be linked to and or cause this black screen problem? and if not then is there anything i can do to fix this problem on my own?
    i'd like to try all possible options/fixes before i consider sending it off, i dont want to spend alot of money if i dont have to so if anybody got any other suggestions on a fix i would really appreciate it

  • Problem to connect iPhone 4s (6.0) to a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop via Bluetooth

    I'm having problem to connect iPhone 4s (6.0) to a HP Pavilion DV6 laptop via Bluetooth, the plan is to share the Internet (3G) from the iPhone to the laptop.
    The driver for serial port is not installing and I don’t have the option to connect to Internet via the iPhone. The problem is isolated to the iPhone as my Samsung mobile installs and connects ok, and is available in the control panel. During install I receive an error that the drivers (I guess for the COM port) cannot be found by WIN7. Drivers and options for headset, sound, SMS etc has installed correctly and is selectable in the control panel for Bluetooth.
    For troubleshooting I have reinstalled HP Bluetooth package sp44774.exe, no success. I then goggled and found a another package sp53961.exe, still I have the problem. Windows Update is configured to auto search for updates.
    Anyone have an idea what to do next?

    Amazing how it can be the simplest things that get overlooked.   Glad it is working.

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • My Macbook air (only 2 months old) has a black screen and I cannot see to get signed on, the keyboard seems to be on as I can see via having put on the Caps key which lights up and also the power cable when connected is at green how do I fix this?

    I have been faced with a Black screen this morning when I have gone to sign in/open my Macbook air this morning.  I can see that the keyboard seems to be on as the caps key when pressed is lighting up as is my charger cable link, however have noticed that the apple logo is not lit up.  Any thoughts?

    Try resetting SMC and NVRAP and then reboot.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    Try booting the Recovery Partition.  Power off, boot and then hold down the Command and R keys.  Is the screen still black?  If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs.  Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
    If you are running Mavericks try upgrading to 10.9.2.  It has a fix for black screen problems.

  • My iPhone has a black screen!

    Hello apple community. My dad just sent me a used iPhone 4s for my birthday about 1 week ago. Today I was using my iPhone and I went to eat and left my phone on my bed. Then when I came back , I tried turn it on and it didnt turn on. It has a black screen but it functions properly. It might be a display screen error or something. I tried the famous method of pressing the home button and the power button at the same time for like 10 seconds but it still wont work. I also plugged it in on my computer and it shows everything on there but my iPhone screen is still black. I hadthe same problem earlier when I got the phone but it turned on after a little while of charging it. What is going on? I live in a small town in Mexico and there are no Apple stores nearby! What should I do? Please I really need your help on this issue. Thank you very much for your attention and hopefully you guys can help me.

    Hello there, Kevin Barreto.
    To make sure if it is a hardware issue or not, the following Knowledge Base article should help guide you further:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Specifically the section on:
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    I have tried everything that i can to get my ipod to turn on.  It has a black screen and hasnt done anything atleast 2 weeks.  Please help.

    1. Can you get it to light up doing a hard reset and holding the buttons down for at least a minute?
    2. Is it charged up?
    3. Is the USB power cable good?
    4. Can you get iTunes to recognize using recovery or DFU mode?
