It seems many users are having this same screen problem with their HP Pavilion zd8000 notebooks. HP refuses to acknowledge that it’s their problem, and they want us to pay for a repair or upgrade to a newer HP notebook. This computer lasted two and a half years.

same problem … fuck HP!
Having this problem with mine as well on the same side screen as yours. If you press down on that part of your screen with your thumb the screen may go back to normal put as soon as you let go the screen messes up again. I had to put a clamp on my screen which constantly applies the needed presure to enable normal display on mine. It stopped me from being able to see clients outside my home. A clamp on your screen is not exactly professional looking. I bought a Dell Win 7 laptop. Fuck HP!
this happened to me:(
mines on the left though,
I Bought one too…
swaped 3x times during gurantee time…
then i quited and demanded a refund of the laptop value, and bought a Toshiba
works almost 24h/24h till now.
For me…no more HP.
Dude it looks like it is your Video Card.
copy cat
HP Laptops are known to have alot of screen problems where it will work some of the time and then it will have dead pixels thus having to ship it back for 2 weeks and get it repaired.
I would look into getting another laptop like a Gateway. Most people arent a fan of there desktops persay but I know from experience with there laptops that there top of the line. And I didn’t have to pay $2,000 for it. Lightning quick.
I use Compaq, which HP now owns. The graphics card was burnt. (it was vista)
I use Packard Bell with NVidia graphics, works good on Xtranormal’s STATE program, which eats up a lot of ram. And advent (uses nearly much the same graphics as the compaq) laptop which has good graphics, better than the Compaq.
thats been hit by water my cell phone did the same thing
Pffff…. Fuck HP, time that company is resigned to history. Asus all the way! Complete design flaw all round with the high end Pavilion, feel sorry for ya
Uhhhhmmm…..no. I just saw a few people spend over $2K on new Mac Book pro’s and their screens went out – back light to be more precise. Seems to be a common problem on the Macbook Pro. Computers are computers and they will fail equally. I’ve seen tons of MACs fail – its actually more common than people think.
get a mac;)
if this is the 256mb graphics card thats your problem.. ive owned the 64mb version for the past 3 years
get dellll they are very good
its damage & cu miss handling
Also, for those interested, I’m going to say that searching on Google, Youtube, & elsewhere to “do research” about this problem just doesn’t justify the fact that a lot of these fucking morons simply don’t “maintain” their laptops. If you want a laptop that’s “virtually” maintenance free, go get yourself an IBM ThinkPad.
And HP would be correct; there is no “significant” design flaw. HP cannot quite possibly determine how, where, & under what conditions a notebook will be used. Simply put, the majority of consumers do not follow the manufacturers guidelines for proper usage (i.e. – a smooth surface for airflow underneath.). Also, those 03 cooling fans can only do so much. Sometimes you have go through a whole can of air, turning the notebook to dislodge ALL of the dust inside. Tear it down completely & clean it!
you can drag the start menu to the right part of the desktop… and there your laptop still usable.. did you buy this laptop half the price?
This just started happening to me a few months ago. I bought my HP in 2006 and never had problems with it until this year.
their a hell of a lot better that toshiba in a week of buying mine it crashed and i was only using itunes
i have a 1.53ghz processor, 2gb ram, 320gb hdd
and it crashed with like just limewire open and itunes in use
Wtf
hp has been sucking so much lately .. they have poor cooling on half the dv series its always either the wifi card dies ( even tho card itself is perfectly fine) or the graphics card dies. my compaq laptop developed the wifi problem after about 9 months .. never will buy another HP/Compaq product again
HP’s are good laptops, but this model has had very bad reviews. This is the top of the line laptop, but the screen is a flaw. A very very bad flaw.
haha owned
its not the screen. its the ribbion cable that goes from the mother board to the screen after lots of shuting and oping it part of the ribion rips their are like 7 very small wire in the band you proubly can just to take it an part an look. you can get an viedo glasses that plug into the vga port.
Drag the taskbar to the right side, and you got the Start menu again, easy.
