Laptop Video

HP Pavilion laptop
Windows XP

No video at any point, just black screen.
Test with an external monitor is the same.

POST beeps indicate that the BIOS can not initilalize the video.

With a PC at this point i would try reseating the video card, swapping video cards if that failed. Well this is a laptop so i should not be able to set the jumpers to disable the on onboard video for an add on being as there isn't even a slot, so what is the next step?

RE: Laptop Video

I just read this and got lost after the second line. Sorry I cant help you.

Sometimes I wonder about my life.

I lead a small life, well valuable but small. And sometimes I wonder. Do I do it because I like it or because I haven't been brave?

So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book when shouldn't it be the other way around?

I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void.

So, goodnight dear void.

Yup, your right Bluey. It's the shop.
Turned out the on board video was fried. Needs a new motherboard and being a lap top you can't throw in an off the shelf one.
