I have a Presario R3000 and the screen has given up the ghost ... at present I am using an external monitor.

Recently, I reinstalled XP SP2 (starting again from scratch) and reloaded the driver disc which came with the machine.

No joy ... any ideas?
 
I you are able to use an external monitor, it's probably not the GPU. Chances are the screen died. I would contact Compaq and see what they can do.

If you are confident with your computer skills, you can try and open the case and make sure all of the wires are connected and check the motherboard for scorch marks to see if anything got fried.

Did the screen systematically become fainter or did it just die? If you are condident about opening the machine up you might find the source of the problem and perhaps get it fixed.
