Originally, Inverter in HP MIni was bad but the LCD was still fully functional and could use the laptop just the colors were inverted and it got annoying. I decided to replace the LCD! Upon testing the new LCD replacement it would boot with the HP logo barely visible for about 10 seconds then it would turn completely black… I took apart the machine again and before putting it back together I plugged in the old screen and it booted fine! i got the the BIOS settings with out a problem. I sent the item back as defective and got a 2nd LCD replacement screen… but i’m still having the same problem. Does anyone have any insight on this? I’m starting to think that i’m doing something wrong. All tips greatly appreciated.
sounds like the LCD backlight isn’t working. you may want to check these connections on the motherboard and on the LCD panel for the LED back light. Also, you may want to connect your old display to see if the problem is reproducible. Tim
