    Default FS: HP DV1708nr laptop

    Everything on the laptop is good but the LCD. I wanted an Asus EEE, so I didn't put forth the effort to repair this one. It wouldn't be difficult to get a new LCD and put it in.

    Again, the LCD is bad.

    Specs:
    1.46GHz Intel® Celeron® M Processor 410
    512MB 533MHz DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    60GB (5400RPM) SATA Hard Drive
    24X DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
    14.0” WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 768)
    Windows XP Home

    Pics:






    You can see in this last picture how the screen is fuzzy and gray when displaying anything.

    I suppose this laptop would be good for parts or it could be easily repaired. Looking to get around $200 OBO for it. Might trade for aftermarket Miata parts.

    This was something that happened over the course of a week or two. First it would only do it if the screen was tilted to a certain angle, then it got progressively worse until there was no longer an angle where I could see the screen display properly.

    Nismo is right, since it will display on an external monitor it isn't an issue with the video card. I figured it was the LCD and just for a backup opinion I asked one of the repair guys at Microcenter and he said it was the LCD as well.

    Yeah, I got several PMs. Most of them thought it didn't have any issues and they were still lowballing me. I don't know why I post things on IA.
