| 1368764 | 2014-02-25 22:25:00 | Hi There, I have a Compaq c700 laptop which recently started having display issues, the issue is the LCD screen does not display anything when the laptop is turned on; this is including the bios startup screen, however sometime you can see a slight shadow of the desktop icons after the startup . The only solution that I came across is to turn it on and off a number of times before the screen starts working again . I have rebuilt the laptop to its factory settings using the recovery process, which has not resolved the issue . The laptop is running windows vista . I have plugged the laptop to an external monitor using VGA cable which also had the same issue of nothing being displayed on the external monitor . Any assistance would be much appreciated Cheers, Louis |

| 1368766 | 2014-02-25 22:45:00 | For the external Display, did you press the key combo to switch to it ? Normally the FN + F key, not to sure which F Key but it will have a picture of a monitor on it usually. Failing that it could be one of several things, either a faulty board, or just for the LCD Display, could be the cable that goes from the board to the LCD Panel, the inverter, or the LCD panel its self. |

| 1368768 | 2014-03-04 04:53:00 | what sort of update are you referring to? | Louis (15620) | ||
| 1368769 | 2014-03-04 04:55:00 | I did not use any of the function keys when connecting the external display, however after having a few goes of turning it ON and Off the external display did eventually work. | Louis (15620) | ||
| 1368770 | 2014-03-04 04:57:00 | I did shine a light on the screen in which I was not able to see anything. | Louis (15620) | ||

You WILL need to send it off for repairs . This is a hardware fault that you almost certainly wont be able to fix yourself . Expect it to cost $200 - $300 ish . I would advise against trying any sort of update or Win reload on a laptop with this sort of issue . |
