DV2000T screen problem - overexposed, pixelated

Greetings!

I ran into a screen problem on my 2.5 years old HP DV2000t laptop. At first, upon powering up one day, the screen went very dim, barely visible. Upon restarting the computer a couple of times, the light came back on (somehow) but the colors are now very odd: overexposed and washed out and with pixels visible throughout, like on older TV screens. The problem seems related to hardware, as tapping the screen changes the lighting slightly, either a tad darker or lighter. When the screen was dim, I was inclined to think that a backlight lamp needed to be replaced, but not now with the light back on. Can the problem be due to the malfunctioning inverter board? Other possibilities and solutions? I'd be very grateful for any feedback. Thank you!

Sounds like your LCD panel is dying. Try slowly opening and closing the hinge to see if the colors change back to normal, if it does then it could be the LCD ribbon/cable.

 

Thank you for the response. Opening/closing the hinge does not help. Bending the screen (which normally is, of course, not wise) in a certain way almost brings back the normal exposure and pixel ratio but still not quite the same. Any further suggestions? Thank you

 

The liquid crystals in your screen have gone out. It has nothing to do with the backlight.
