N800v harddrive blew out
It depends upon your needs, the larger the hard drive to higher the cost and the maximun size you can install depends upon the BIOS.
The smallest hard drive that is readily available is about 100Gb.
Display malfunction
There is a ribbon cable that runs from the video board in the base to the screen in the lid....unfortunately, I've never seen one that was detachable at both ends, so the only solution I have would be to find a new screen with the cable, and swap it out, which is not a simple job. If you're really lucky, and good, and have eyes like an eagle, you may be able to find the bad wire in the connector and repair it somehow, but, personally, I wouldn't try....those wires are TINY...
Good Luck!!!
I want to open my hardrive in the model EVO N800V COMPAQ
Looks like it's just a notebook IDE drive. On the bottom of the laptop, there should be some symbols that look like hdd platters in a vertical line. Unscrew the screws next to these symbols and pop that cover. Remove hdd, take old hdd out of the metal cradle it's in and put the new on in there. Then screw back together.
Adjusting screen brightness and contrast
press F2 when the computer starts, the bios page will appear, ALT+P to change the pages until you see the screen bightness options, then you can change it as you want. I hope this will help
