my laptop is not booting up correctly. I cant see anything
For some resaon I cant see anything on my laptops display. It boots up but shows me nothing on the monitor. I have included a graphic that shows that the caps and scroll keys lights are blinking and the light right above the mouse pad is also lit but not blinking. Tried hooking up a monitor to it but no help. The monitor didnt even light up during the boot process. The laptop is a HP Pabvilion dv4-1275 mx. Help

nothing on display no matter how I tilt it, but it does show a gray background for a second. I understood the concept of the key combination

ok so after 30 minutes the damn laptop is now showing the screen but it has a bluish haze to it. Is it the driver?

Your rigth is the damn backlight. Is it difficult to replace the backlight? I think they may cost up to $70
The steps are probably on HP's website for the model. It usually takes some digging but I bet you can find them and do the work yourself if you don't want to spend money on someone else doing it.
Good work!

right on target
Also check carefully when booting that there isn't something actually on the display but very faint as it might just be the backlighting of the lcd display.
