I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 with Window xp Home edition and the video monitor stopped working. It is blank (black) screen when window tries to boot...get some display when booting and F8 to safe mode. The laptop works when hooked to an external monitor (works fine). Also tried going back to a prior date but that didn't work either. Any suggestions????


This has nothing to do with Windows; it's clearly a hardware failure. Contact Dell to get the obviously defective display panel replaced.
