Some computer help needed

Here's what you need, and it's $6.89 shipped. I looked up the company I bought mine through (because it was OEM and was a clean transaction) but didn't find anything.

This is what the flex cable looks like

I HIGHLY doubt that is the problem. I have NEVER seen even the slightest bit of damage on thoes cables. If it was that cable your whole screen wouldnt work anyways because the inverter cable and screen data cable are 1 in the same then split into 2. By the way i used to own a dv6500 and have worked on many dv6000's and dv9000's

I do alot of work on IBM computers, and that is a VERY common problem.

I've never had a single video problem be caused by a video cable, and I've worked on hundreds of laptops. I'd try the inverter first. I'm fairly certain this will resolve your issue.

So I got the inverter installed and wouldnt you know it? it isnt the problem. Any other suggestions?

The computer will still POST without the HD, you will just get an OS not found error...

Ok if it were the Ribbon Cable where does it come up through to connect to the screen? I see to cables on either side and thats it.

Its a flat cable, that goes from the MOBO to behind the monitor and connects near the top.
