    I'm looking for someone who knows about Laptop and repairing them. I have a TX 1320 Notebook from HP and I am getting some display difficulties. When turned on, the lights on the laptop comes on as normal but the screen remains blank. After about 40 times of shutting down (with the power button) and starting back, it'll finall come on as if u never cut it off wrongfully. i.e. if you had hibernate it the last time you had it on, after the couple attempts of on's and off's trying to get it back on, it'll come back on from the hibernate mode as if u never did that and as if nothing happened. What's really going on and how can I fix it? Anyone with any serious suggestions please let me know.
    Thanks

    Just contact the HP Toll free number of whatever country you are staying now. I guess they come with global 1 year standard warranty. In India, they asked me to carry in my notebook to their local service center after which they replaced my motherboard.
