My laptop will turn on but the screen is just blank. :cry: <BLACK> :cry:

When it turns on it gives me this code like a long beep followed by 3 short ones and then repeats the same beep.

Like this: _ . . . _ . . .

It was working fine and then went to sleep mode when I left it alone but when I returned...NOTHING. I shut it down and restarted to hear those beeps.

Any help would be appreciated! I've let the computer cool down and still same problem.

HELP!

I've had similar experiences that usually points to corrupt memory.

If you have 2 moduales pull one out, switch it with the other slot.

If you only have one slot n one module, try to find away to replace it. This may cost you $$$$. And although i'm confident thats your answer i could be wrong.

thanks griffit34- - will look into this- - thanks for reply!

I just had the same blank screen problem, but you can get your machine to work
if you plug into a flat screen monitor (not a CRT) and FNC + F3, and that toggles to
alternate monitor (your flat panel) so at least you can use your machine till it is fixed.
I contacted HP about the problem, and they said the Display Card is bad.
But check when booting-up to see if you get clock error 0207 which means your
battery is dead, and may keep the monitor from sync with CPU.
