  1. Check the connections. Make sure that the laptop is properly connected to power and that the display cable is properly connected to the laptop. You can also try connecting the laptop to an external monitor to see if the problem is with the laptop's display or with the graphics card.
  2. Update the graphics driver. Outdated or corrupt graphics drivers can cause display problems. You can update the graphics driver by going to the Device Manager and selecting the Display adapters category. Right-click on the graphics card and select Update driver.
  3. Run a diagnostic test. HP laptops have a built-in diagnostic tool that can help you to identify hardware problems. To run the diagnostic test, press Alt+F10 while the laptop is starting up.
  4. Reset the laptop. If you have tried all of the above steps and the problem is still not fixed, you can try resetting the laptop. This will erase all of your personal data, so make sure to back up your data before you reset the laptop.
