HP zd7000 is a lemon
Sunday, March 16th, 2008I was brought an HP Pavilion zd7000 laptop this afternoon which had a weird screen problem; the display was wrapped around, and kind of washed out. This suggested either a driver problem (this is a Windows machine) or a graphics adapter problem, or a cabling issue. First, I ruled out a software issue; rebooting showed the same display problem during the boot screen or in the BIOS (F10 for BIOS, F12 for PXE boot). I suppose it could be a cable issue but when I did a Google search, it brought up a number of useful websites where the owners of zd7000-series complain of similar problems.
