Ken- you seem to be so knowledgable so this question is mainly for you-
I have an HP zv5260us that has the blackout problem.
When I tilt the screen a certain angle, I can faintly see the windows xp logo, so I know the computer is loading properly.
I did alot of searching online and it all signs point towards a bad motherboard or possibly power cord/supply.
This makes sense becuase my power supply only works when I bend the power cord a certain way. I used to this was the main problem but I got a NEW power cord and nothing changed. I think maybe its whats inside the laptop itself.
I could really use some insight- I would like to fix it myself. Im a college student and I only take classes online and distance learning. My laptop is truly my lively hood and Im terrified of losing it or having to pay what i cant afford to pay.
Thank you so very much in advance!!! I greatly appreciate any advice!!!

The condition you are describing is that of a bad inverter, and the
backlight is not working. It appears that your use of a damaged connector
has allowed a short circuit, and that has most likely caused significant
damage throughout the systems of the laptop.
You would be well advised to do two things:
1. Stop using the unit immediately.
2. *DO NOT* attempt to repair the unit yourself. Get the unit to a
reputable repair facility immediately.

I found a chap that has produced a DVD Video Tutorial on how to open and repair laptops. It is a great DVD if anyone needs some insight on how to open and repair the powerjack problem. the address is: www.powerjackrepair.com
