I had the same issue I had just hooked up the vga and then did a series of function and f4 key and the screen came back for me but the vga is kinda flacky now. Since doing that I have had no more issues with the lcd. Mine was a firmware issue but for 400 bucks and three years I got my money worth so far. Mine is the v6712 model compaq/ HP.

@egn83b The Compaq V6000 use the same motherboard as the HP DV6000. Its very common for the video to fail on these machine due to the video chip overheating. This machine you have uses the GeForce 6150 Nvidia graphics card. This video chip would fail usually after about a year of use. I have a few of these in my collection that I fixed, but never sold. Good machine if the video didn't fail on them.

@civicboy123 In the future if you see any toshiba laptops avoid them because I bought one just months after I bought my compaq I have now and it went back to the manufactor repair shop 3 times for a failed grahics card and they replaced the board and sent it back and the third time was the last free repair. The bad part was that the fix lasted two months each time with regular use nothing hash always on the table clear off any problems that might make heat buildup.
