Thanks for the defective laptop, HP!
well, I finally got a call from the local PC repair shop about my laptop. They simply confirmed what I already knew. It’s the motherboard and there’s no cheap fix for it. The motherboard can be replaced for $400 but as all of us know, you can easily get a new laptop for that price.
So, does anyone want my HP Pavilion DV7 for parts? I might as well put it up on ebay to get something out of this piece of crap. It’s only a year and a half old and now it’s just a paper weight. lovely.
Thanks for nothing HP.

Hey, my old acer aspire laptop broke and needed a part, something to do with the monitor... Any chance I could scavenge it from your Pavilion? (Do you think it could work?)
I'll try to find out what the (damn) thing is called.
I mourn for your loss, by the way.
hhmmm, I guess it depends on if the part you need in the Acer is the same part in the HP.
but, I'm going to put the whole laptop up on ebay for "parts/repair" anyway so I can't spare that particular part for you. sorry. thanks anyway. :)
