Last night I went to bed with my notebook running smooth and quiet on my desk like it always does. When I woke up in the morning, the screen was blank, athough the system appeared to be working fine. After restarting several times, I noticed that I could see what was on the screen VERY VERY fanitly, as if the pixesl were still switching, but the backlight was completely turned off. I tried all kinds of things, including pushing on that special spot between the 6 and 7 keys, but to no avail.
So, I got stupid and opened up the case to see what I could see. Of course, nothing appeared out of place, so I put it back together. Now, when I turn on the notebook, it doesn't even POST. The power comes on and the DVD drive just clicks over and over and over again.
Of course, the system is about 2 months out of warranty. So, what should I do?
At this point I know I;m going to have to spend some $$$ to get this fixed, but where should I take it? on the HP website, it just directs me to my local Best Buy and CompUSA for qualified service. I have heard horror stories about getting service there, so I was hoping someone might have a better reccomendation. I really can't afford to be without my computer for too terrible long.
Thanks,
