Gday All
Just been looking at getting my old laptop repaired ( HP Compaq nx6120 ).
( Its old, but has a real LPT and COM port and runs XP, as i need that for some old legacy apps and hardware, so if not too costly, i would like to fix it. )
Over time, i got vertical pixel errors, some of which morphed into into solid bars. One white and one black. The white one is always white and never shows info. The black one sometimes shows data at boot and after the screen is woken from powersave/sleep mode, but then dies again.
I have used an external monitor, and it shows a perfect display.
Most sites say this indicates it is only the LCD screen thats dead and not the GPU. ( But others say different
)
Soooooooo, has anyone seen this sort of problem and is it likely to be only the LCD????
