<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a HP Pavilion dv9723cl Notebook PC<br />
17&quot; diagonal widescreen display<br />
<br />
it will only display video to an external monitor , but if i open the top the screen will show a brief but readable image .<br />
<br />
I am thinking that this is some physical thing with the cable from the mother board to the screen , and the screen itself it bad.<br />
<br />
I don't know to much about this any suggestion on the first steps would be helpful <br />
<br />
I am guessing unscrew something to get to the connector ?<br />
<br />
<br />
thanks

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
