HP 530 LCD Display Shifted to Right!

Dear All,

Irrelevant background deleted by Moderator

My Laptop’s Issue...
This morning, when I turned ON my laptop, I see the entire display of my Laptop being shifted from Right to Left by 10% thereby leaving black area at the right hand corner. Last week, when I turned on my laptop for about few mins, the screen was perfect positioned fine. However, due to the internal fan not rotating, I had to shut down my laptop with 5-7 mins. I had also Disassembled and Reassembled the entire laptop 2 weeks back to check the Fan area if there’s any dust and blew Vacuum Blower to remove any dust in the Fan area if any. Also, I could see the Fan’s connector being properly connected to Motherboard. After Re-assembling everything, I turned on my Laptop and I could still see the Display being positioned perfectly fine! But, the Fan still wasn’t rotating.

Also, when I hooked up an external monitor to my Laptop VGA connection, the display positions perfectly fine on an external monitor! But still, the display remains shifted to Right on the LCD screen of my HP 530 Laptop. This I believe is a physical shift taken place as at BIOS mode also, the Display is shown shifted to right.

For your all reference, I have uploaded all possible screenshots taken from different angles with my Nokia Cell Phone at the links mentioned below. Could you kindly take a look at these snapshots please by visiting the links?

Hey Everybody!

One quick question over here! Is it possible that if a wrong AC Power Adaptor gets connected to my HP 530 Laptop and if the Laptop is being Turned ON, it can immediately blow off any component inside my laptop resulting into my LCD Display getting "Shifted from to Left from Right?

B'coz once he connected his AC Power Adaptor, I immediately told him that I have bought my Original HP AC Power Adaptor along which he should be using therefore, he disconnected his AC Power Adaptor from my laptop and then connected the one I bought to the laptop.

Can using wrong AC Power Adaptor affect the LCD Controller Chip of my HP 530 Laptop?

Or has this Display Shift issue occurred b'coz of heating or b’coz I disassembled the laptop myself.

I followed the instructions on this page to disassemble my HP 530 Laptop:

which was explained quiet professionally with all the screenshots step by step.

But I strongly believe that more importantly, this LCD Display got shifted to Left from Right the moment that wrong AC Power Adaptor got connected by that person into my HP 530 Laptop to whom I took this Laptop 3 days back for checking the Fan issue and he is into the business of repairing Laptops in Mumbai.

This is an extreme important question to which I need an answer please....

To be honest with you if you connect the laptop to an external monitor and the display is perfect it would indicate to me that either the cable, cable socket on the board, or the LCD panel is at fault.

The cables and LCD's are extremely delicate and if whoever took the laptop apart did not take care over it then they could well be damaged.

I would not expect plugging the wrong power supply into would cause a problem like that, normally the main fuse inside the laptop would blow first, but anything is possible.

I would first look into swapping the cable out as this is probably your cheapest option.

Hi There!

Thanks for your reply! But all I would like to know over here is that if the Voltage of the AC Power Adapter would be beyond 10%, what is the first thing it can damage coming in its way inside the laptop? I mean, is it possible that it can damage the LCD Controller Chip or Shifting the LCD Display from Right to Left? All I am trying to figure out here is that if Plugging in a Wrong AC Power Adaptor can be a culprit for my LCD Display Screen to shift to Right from Left or damaging the LCD Chip Controller on the Motherboard?

As I said in my previous post it is extremely unlikely.

It would normally damage the main fuse on the motherboard.

This would not make the display shift to the left. It would just stop the unit from powering on at all.

I have never seen this problem because of the wrong power supply.

I have known of people using a 20v supply with an 18v laptop for periods of 6 months or more.

I would not recommend it but it should not harm it especially if it was for a short period of time.
