    HP 2000 screen shorting out

    Hi all,
    I do repairs to computers and have just come up against a new issue & wondered if anyone here has experienced this.
    Was about to replace a cracked screen on an HP 2000 laptop & before I did, I tried to power it up and had no response. Replaced battery with a known good charged one and same thing.
    Tried with known good power adapter, with and without battery, still nothing.
    Disassembled machine, unplugged video cable, and it powers up with either battery and/or power adapter.
    Plug screen back in, no power and seems to short out power adapter.
    Tried different known good screen and same thing... shorts out.
    I'm thinking maybe video cable is bad? But, not sure about ordering a new one in case it's a board issue.
    Anyone seen this before?
    Thanks

    It has to be the tape cable connector ,on some machine there are some cheap connectors, i can state that I've come across some connectors that i easily disconnect but when connecting it i make a mess, a have a couple like that,

      Hey ivtec, Thanks for the response.
      I can't imagine why I didn't plug it into an external monitor to test it first.
      Just did that and no video out either, so I guess it's in the GPU.

        Is the power adapter making a rodent repeller sound?
