I have received a laptop from a relative. It is a HP dv9000. It has a GeForce Go 7600.

The laptops screen wont come on. When you turn the laptop on, the screen changes from the standard black when its off, to a lighter black. Indicating that something is happening, but nothing is being displayed. I cannot enter the BIOS or access any features of the laptop.

I have connected the laptop to an external display, and the laptop works through that. I can access the BIOS, boot menu and load into safe mode. While on the external display, I can use the laptop as normal.

I want to know if this is a screen problem, or a graphics problem.

Edit;

Can you buy a replacement GeForce Go 7600 card? Or is it an on board graphics?
