    Hello everyone,

    i just found this forum and it seems like you guys could help me answer this question. i have a dv2000 laptop i bought about 2 years ago and the screen has started to mess up. essentially it has two problems.

    1. there is always a vertical line about a pixel thick that stays a yellow color. no matter what is on the screen, the line is always yellow. if i bend the display panel a bit it disappears but comes back as soon as i let go.

    2. when i open and close the laptop to adjust the screen angle, the screen starts flickering with these white lines. i have to keep messing around with the screen (moving it back and forth) for it to come back to normal. im not sure if a cable is loose or maybe broken.

    im assuming that i need to replace the entire display panel but im not sure if i can get away with just buying the lcd screen and replacing it. i can probably get rid of the yellow line on the screen but i think the flickering is caused by something else. could it be a loose cable that i just need to fix?

    thank you in advance for the help!

    If it's the backlight flickering that suggests that you replace the LCD inverter too, but from your description I think you just need to replace the panel? If you get lucky and find a good price on a whole dv2000 display assembly on eBay by all means save yourself some hassle and buy that but it's probably more cost effective to just buy a panel.

    its not really the backlight that is flickering. its more so that when i move the screen these white lines start appearing all over. the backlight will stay the same brightness though. its really wierd because its almost like the screen freezes... like if a video is playing and i move the screen.. the image will stop until i fix the screen.

    u may be right though... im gonna check ebay to see if i can just find a display panel and swap it out... seems easier anyways

    Could have a loose cable or a damaged cable as well. if the screen flickers when moving it I would put money on a loose or faulty cable.
