Re: [Simply Computers] HP Pavillion DV8000-series laptop

 

Hi,

If I read you correctly, you DO get an image on the original old
screen which is now reinstalled into the laptop computer at boot up.

That being the case, my guess would be that it might be something as
simple as the Fn key with the display-function-key combonation
sending the signal to the external port only.

Cross your fingers and knock wood.....
