Hello,
I have an HP dv2500 with both Windows 7 and Linux installed. It shows a blank screen after switching it on. I have tried the following:

removed the battery
held the power button down for 60 s
reconnected the power supply
then switched it on again
shut down
and finally replaced the battery.

But it is still not working, someone help please

Hello,

Try this 1

Remove the RAM from the slot, clean it and place it back properly or try another

slot. Check you RAM also. Even bad RAM will result in display problem.

If the problem still exists, then try connecting an external monitor to your laptop.

Check if you are able to get display in the external monitor.

Just look for the VGA connector ( there will be a monitor symbol ) in your laptop

and connect it to the external monitor then switch ON your laptop.

Note : If you failed to get the display in external monitor, then use the proper

combination keys(like Fn+F5/ the function key that's having the monitor symbol

on it) to toggle between your laptop screen and the external monitor.

Good Luck
