Forum Systems : HP Wavy lines on laptop screen problem

I have a hp dv6000. My son closed the lid firmly. Next time I booted it, the screen had wavy lines on it. Sometimes its hard to read print (especially color on color).

The lines are multicolored (like an oil slick).

Sounds like a graphics card problem? Does your laptop use a NVidia Graphics card, I know HP had allot of problems with NVidia graphics cards heating up and failing in there DV machines and I know for a fact the Dv6000 was affected by this issue.

This problem was back in 2007 and HP offered to pay half for repairs but doubt they will now, unless you have warranty?
