My friend had problems with the screen and he just gave it to me and bought a new one. Basically, only the top third of the screen will display. I'm not much of a hardware guy, so I'm not gonna tinker with it. It looks like there are noted solutions out there (HP dv9000 blank screen fix). I know it's only the display because I can remote onto the machine and it runs fine, plugged in. Battery does not hold the charge.

Here are the specs:

• HP Pavilion dv9000 Notebook PC
• Serial: CNF8160SFH
• Win Vista Home Premium SP2 32 bit
• 17" widescreen
• AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core TL-60 processor - 2.0GHz (Tyler, 1600MHz front side bus, 512KB Level-2 cache per core, 90nm SOI, 35W, Socket S1)
• 3 gb ram DDR2
• NVIDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M
• Motherboard: Quanta 30D1 v 85.26
• 250GB SATA 1.5Gb/s hard drive - 5,400 RPM, 2.5in form factor, 9.5mm thick
• DVD±RW and CD-RW Super Multi Double-Layer combo optical drive - With LightScribe
• AC Adapter

Asking $100 + shipping.

I will ship first if you have an excellent/recent heatware rating.

Dang that dude is brave. I just use a heat gun. Wish I needed it.

If you plug it into a monitor using the Vga or DVI port does it still only show a third of the screen??...I'm interested so LMK....Thanks....Disco

A monitor through the VGA port or a (usb) docking station have been tested and will work in full.

You have a PM.
