Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] help with hp g 7

Do you hear sounds as if the laptop is booting - but you can't see anything on the screen? When you say you tried 2 different screens I'm assuming you mean external monitors? When you try an external monitor be sure to press Fn + F4 to switch the display to the external monitor. Can you see anything on your screen at all when you boot? Try quickly tapping F10 right after you press the power button to see if you can enter BIOS setup. If the screen is totally black during boot, and an external monitor doesn't work, but you hear the pc booting up... there's not much you can do. It is probably a failed video chip on the motherboard.

It is possible to buy a brand new, original equipment, screen for your HP G7. Cost is about $70 - $100. I found a bunch on Amazon and Ebay. To be honest I've never replaced a laptop screen, but I imagine it is fairly simple.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] help with hp g 7
I dunno then. Maybe it's the cable from the mobo to the screen? If not that, then something on the mobo. It might be un-fixable unless you take it to a pro.

The internal video module may be history. Since changing screens, and monitor cables didn't work.
