P5LP-LE motherboard lost video

[kberry]

HP Pavilion a6010n lost onboard video. Tried both PCI and PCI-E video cards, still black screen after HP blue startup, can enter setup but that's it. Did Reset CMOS. Any suggestions?

Are you able to access the BIOS? Were you able to see if your onboard video was shown as active or not?

Sorry for the late reply. After my first post, I removed the hard drive to recover important files and discovered I was unable to read the drive. The recovery partition was still intact and I was able to copy it to a new hard drive and then restore the system. Problem solved. I just never had a HD failure that appeared initially to be a video issue. Thanks for your consideration.
