Hi, I have a PC laptop that did something weird that has me worried.
the otherday i went to power it up and the fans started turning and
the cdrom span but the screen did not light up and the HD did not
access. I rebooted it several times from various power outlets with
the same effect. After taking it to compusa and being told it wouldnt
be worth it to fix. I went back home and kept trying to boot it.
nothing. Then I thought, maybe it had something to do with the video
card or the display itself. So I plugged a monitor in to the VGA port
on the laptop and powered up. The computer booted like nothing was
wrong. I am dumbfounded. Anyone have a clue as to what happened? Did
the monitor actually aid my motherboard in booting up?? I am very
dependant upon this machine as it carries my music programs and I have
a gig in 2 weeks. Im weary of even turning it off at this point. any
insight would be appreciated.
thanks
dave
Hi Dave,
You've probably already thought of this . . . but on my HP dv8000z, I have had the laptop get confused and think that the external display was the primary display. All I had to do with a monitor hooked up was go into display properties and set the LCD as the default again. I have had the laptop to this to me a handful of times. In each case is was after watching a movie on my big-screen monitor.
Ciao . . . C.Joseph
