This is a pic of the HP startup splash screen during POST. Blue and white color is HP logo.
Does this look like a broken LCD, damaged video cable or something else? It doesnt look like a broken LCD issue to me.
I dropped my laptop from about two feet high onto carpet. Now the LCD shows mostly solid grey with only a few horizontal lines that reveal part of the image that should be displayed (HP logo).
It will not boot to windows but I cant see the bottom of the screen to troubleshoot that issue.
I have tried connecting an external monitor, but when I press Fn+F4, it will not change. The F4 key has the monitor logo but when I press it alone it still wont change. I have tried several different methods of changing to the external monitor including closing the laptop, but none of them have any affect.
I suspect that the external monitor will not work because I am stuck in the POST.
Before I spend the money on a replacement LCD, I wanted to get another opinion.
I would hate to replace the LCD and still have the same problem.
Thanks in advance....
