LCD Laptop issues
Couples years back I bought a friend down here a new laptop (trust me I owed him.) It's an HP Pavilion w/14.1 screen. He mentioned recently the screen went completely black. the lights on the keyboard light and it looks like it's booting but the screen remains black. My guess is the screen is out. I've looked around on-line and can order a new screen and replace it myself. Prior to doing that I'd like to make sure it isn't the graphics card, or something I haven't even considered. So I'm wondering about trouble shooting. There appears to be a monitor out port on the side. If I connect this to a regular screen and it works off that screen then it's the screen, Right?
Anyone have any advice?
