My wife has a Compaq Presario M2000 with Windows XP Home. I am not sure if the problem is hardware or software; the computer appears to boot normally, but the screen stays blank. I assumed it was hardware, but if I plug my desktop screen into it, when booted it shows the initial Windows XP logo screen with the activity bar under it, but then it disappears and the screen remains blank from then on.
I can't work this out at all. Why does it show the Windows Logo screen on the external monitor but not on the lappie screen? And why do neither screen display anything beyond that point? Can anyone tell me what is going on here?
