    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?

                  Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
                  by Ryan.man
                  Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                  My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                  This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                  iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
                  by smic717394
                  Hi,

                  I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

                  Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
                  by Chrissygizmo
                  Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
                  I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

                  Vizio TV M50-C1 reboot cycle and static on screen
                  by spice_disc
                  I'm currently trying to diagnose and fix my Vizio TV (Model M50-C1). I've tried a number of different basic solutions, but I'm trying to determine if my issue is currently a failing panel, T-Con board, or main board (or something else entirely) and whether or not it is worth my time to fix it. Details of the issue and what I've tried are below as well as why I think it is either a bad panel, T-Con board, or main board.

                  The Issue: The TV will be on and working fine but after the TV is on for ~5-10 minutes the screen will freeze (with sound continuing) until the TV reboots itself. While...

                  ipad pro 9.7" blew a SMD component while replacing the screen 🤦‍♂️
                  by ipatch
                  i have an ipad pro 9.7" (1st gen) A1674 where i replaced the screen, but never attached the screen to the frame/chassis (glued down) due to the ipad being previously dropped so the new screen would never fit in the frame properly. so i need flex/bend the chassis to eventually fix the new screen in properly. so i temporarily just applied blue tape around the edges of the screen to keep it in place. when watching videos with the ipad the screen started flicker, so i though maybe the new quasi cheap amz screen i purchased was going out. so i disconnected then reconnected with power still on,...
