HP Pavilion zd8000 problem: Half my screen is dead

It seems many users are having this same screen problem with their HP Pavilion zd8000 notebooks. HP refuses to acknowledge that it's their problem, and they want us to pay for a repair or upgrade to a newer HP notebook.

This computer lasted two and a half years.

This happened with my ZE4900 except it's the right half of the screen. Needless to say... It sucks

Its a HP bro. Rubbish. Complete rubbish. My screen is shit. It has wonderful pixel rain. Replacing a screen is not worth it, costs more than the computer. MehHeh. Get LED lasts 10x longer.

The VGA card one my ZD8000 had a dead GPU as well the machine is a total nightmare, I battled to get my ZD7000 replaced by HP and they gave me the 8000 which has now also failed. The problem is the heat generation from the desktop CPU and the poor heatsink design on the GPU so teh machine just generated far to much heat and eventually cooks itself. Because of this I will never buy another HP machine again and would urge others to avoid them.

My dv6000 does exactly the same, so I hooked it up my 50" LCD and now it is my HTPC.

I had the same problem about 5 years ago. The screen was shot. Luckily it was still under warranty and they replaced it.
