Since today i've been having issues with my HP pavillion dv6000 series laptop.

The screen goes black after a certain amount of time when my power supply is plugged in. However when its running off the battery it seems not to go black. So i've concluded myself that it may be the power supply but just to confirm with some of the best computer technicians on tomshardware would make me feel alot better or if i could get some information about it.

When the screen goes black if i shine a light at it i can see my desktop or if i plug a external monitor I can see my stuff and use it obviously, any body have a solution to this problem if so please tell immediately! Hope your able to help :D

Tell me if you need any more information about my system i'd be more than glad to post about it.

I have a HP8510P. It took me a while but i have definitely traced my problem to the power supply also. The original supply caused the problem less frequently. It has died and I bought a replacement off the web. The problem now occurs much more frequently but only when this supply is attached. I have a different supply I bought for multiple use and when i use it i have no problems at all. Haven't yet figured out the difference. I'm going to set up a trend plotting oscilloscope and see just what's going on. I'm really surprised more people haven't seen this and/or it hasn't been resolved.
