The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

Unfortunatly there is no setting to just turn it off. Im not really sure about unplugging the light, but i have seen people take the display apart and put a piece of electrical tape over the light so it didnt bleed through the screen.
Where did you get your screen, and which one did you get?
I checked some sites that sell screens but they only sold 1366x768 versions.
Several of the sites said that upgrading the screen to a higher resolution could cause problems. I asked how, and was told that the display cables might not be powerful enough to handle the 1080p signal, or that the higher screen resolution could stress the video card. Sounds odd to me... but one never knows.
It sounds like replacing the screen is huge annoying ordeal.
I was hoping it was an easy procedure. HP gave me a huge discount on a 3 year ADP warranty, and chances are at some point Im going to need to send the system in for repair at least once or twice in those 3 years..... in which case I'd need to reinstall the original screen to avoid my warranty being voided.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
