Hi Everyone, have an issue I'm hoping to get some advice on.
I have an HP laptop with a screen that goes solid white. It's a hardware issue, because it's white even before the BIOS screen displays.
I notice that the screen would turn on after being left alone for a bit. Then a while later, would go white again, back and forth etc. Connected an external monitor and get picture consistently, all the while the internal display still comes and goes.
Tried shaking/wiggling the display to see if it's a loose cable, but that had no effect. Long story short I ordered and replaced the ribbon cable anyway to rule that out. the issue remains as suspected. What do you think? motherboard or LCD? Anything I'm forgetting to try? thanks!
