    hi all,

    Just yesterday when i boot up my notebook the screen splitted into 3 smaller screens and there was huge black line in the middle even from the bios screen.. i restarted several times but no luck..then it started blinking and then it gone dead completely.. although the system is booting up.. do u v any ideas wats happening.. i'm really not happy with the build quality of dv5000t, the keyboard and sound buttons are uneven.. the fan started making noise.. and now this one.. i'm really having lots of trouble since i'v purchased it.. :(

    regards

    It's under warranty, right? Call HP and get them to replace it.

    Only if it has needed the *same* repair at least 3 times...though a CS rep might take pity on people...might.

    I feel your pain. They suck here in the US too. It took me months and multiple issues to finally get HP to take care of my problems. And then the FedEx guy doesn't even attempt to deliver it back and just drives off like a bat out of hell! :mad:

    Plug a vga cable in the vga out on the let sight. I think it is FUN + F5 to switch to monitor out. Look along the F keys or number keys, I cant remember.
