    Hi,

    If you have an external monitor, try using that so we know its not your graphics card.

    Im guessing its the cable or the panel itself. Im not very familiar with tablet digitized screens but check if you can see anything at all as the backlight could be dead.

    I'm very sad. According to the HP technicians, it's the motherboard that is defective! The laptop is only 14 months old. The HP people told me that replacing it would cost about $400!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    According to the HP technicians, the defective part is SPS-BD, SYS WLAN which cost about $250.

    Maybe it is better to buy a new one. Maybe I should go back to DELL again.
