Some time ago I started getting problems with the lcd switch (the little rubber button that turns off the lcd when lid is closed) on my HP zv6000. At this point the switch is completly broken, the little spring that completes the circuit is missing and the screen is dark. I am wondering is there a way to override the switch, because when the system boots up the lcd lights up with the HP logo, but once bootup reaches windows loading screen, it goes dark again. This may suggest that there is an alternate circuit to the lcd. These laptops are known to expirience problems with the lcd switch so if any one has expirienced them please let me know I'd greatly appreciate any solutions.

First boot into Safe Mode using F8 when starting the computer. This will allow you to make the change needed in windows to stop the hibernate switch from causing problems. Then, when in safe mode: Go into the power management settings, go to advanced, and when it says "When I close the lid to my portable computer..." change that to "Do nothing".
That keeps the computer from hibernating, but the screen will still turn off when you close the unit, and turn on again when that button is not depressed.
