Just an idea.
Could this all be caused by faulty memory module?

A faulty memory module can cause windows corruptions, BSOD's, reboots and crashing but no, it will not cause the video card to fail.

Just to know if I should try and install a module from my other lappy.
Thanks.

Btw the cheaper board I have found on the internet is $275.
So I think that to ship it to HP and let them to replace it and get extended warranty is smarter then to do it myself.
What do you guys think?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22650996 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:56:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22650762
Its just a matter of removing everything and putting everything back in and not shorting the board in the process.

There may be guides on the internet for your specific system. (walk you through how to do it)

$400 to replace that.
The nearest HP support center is in Best Buy. The thing is I don't trust those Geek Squads people as they proved to be useless in most cases.
What would you do?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22650734 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:02:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22650566 said by Jarpil:

Is there a way to disable the video card?
Why I can't reach bios?
The video card is, pretty much, disabled. Thats why you can't see any image. It seems to be failing or dead.

You can probably reach bios, you just cannot see what you are doing, since there is no image.

I would guess that video card is an add-on card and should be replaceable. You would need to start disassembling the system to check it out

it really sounds like the video card at this point. It would explain why the external monitor didn't work.

Now the screen is black again after a bootup.
This confuses me :huh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22650122 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:41:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22649967
After few minutes of running the HP recovery manager the screen is all blurry, getting colour artifacts and pixelization is unacceptable.
Anyone has any ideas?
Thanks.

Could it be the video card? It has Nvidia 8600GS inside.
BTW laptop's video cards are integrated to the mobos or are they dedicated cards as in desktops?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22649967 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:00:53 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22649914 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22649914 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:46:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22649866

While that specific model is not listed, it may be included in this problem. I had a customer a few weeks ago with the same exact symptoms, the specific model # wasn't listed on that page but HP support verified that it qualified for a warranty repair. (motherboard replacement) They sent the shipping box and mailing label to me, about a 7 day turnaround. No cost at all on my part. The deal extends the warranty to 2 years for this specific problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22649866 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:36:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22649835 Caps lock and Scroll lock lights turn on when pressed.
I connected an external monitor but it's as black as the lappy's lcd display.
2 days ago I could see the HP logo after a bootup, could reach safe mode. After few minutes of running all the text became unreadable and all I could see was bunch of color lines over the screen. I restarted and the screen is black since then.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22649835 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:30:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22649719
If it makes beeps, its a good indication your board is OK and may just be the display.

You could turn it on and let it run long enough that it usually takes to get to the operating system, and see if the Caps Lock key, Scroll Lock key lights turn on when the appropriate buttons are pressed.

If there is any lights that normally come on when the system is turned on, that do not come on now, thats a good indication the board is shot.

motherboard replacement really isn't difficult. it IS time-consuming and you wind up with a lot of screws, different sizes of course, and then generally there are some internal components that have to be removed. I usually use a piece of paper to document the screws (back cover, LCD, top right corner, bottom left corner, modem, pci device, whatever). I have even made a diagram of the system and put the screws on the paper where they came out of

Connecting an external monitor didn't help either.Seems like the lappy is dead.
The HP logo won't show up either.Nothing, just a black screen after a bootup.
Any suggestions how to find out what exactly is wrong before I shell out $300 for new motheboard?
Thanks.
How difficult it would be to replace a mobo? Is it a task you can do home?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Hp-Pavilion-9535nr-problems-22646965 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:41:40 EDT
