Re: HP Laptop no display
If the lappie displays OK to an external unit it's not a graphics card failure. Far more likely that the backlight or related power components have died.

Edit: Just googled this a bit and there is apparently a known issue with the dv9000 where the 'open lid' switch gets stuck so the laptop does not switch the screen on. That should be a simple one to check.
