At this point, the backlight needs to be replaced to restore full brightness.
WARNING: The backlight can be replaced only by a trained
technician. Please contact the HP Support Center for assistance. Do not attempt to replace the light yourself.
NOTE: Do not use a screen saver with the LCD monitor, as the
backlight will be used. It is recommended that you enable an automatic power saving mode on the PC, or switch off the monitor when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with the monitor, these tips may help you solve the problem. Try the following steps before calling HP.
If you find:
No picture and the light indicator on the front of the LCD panel is off:
• Check that the monitor is turned on.
• Check that the power cord is properly connected.
• Check the electrical outlet.
• Connect the monitor to another computer to determine if there is a
problem with the computer rather than with the monitor.

LCD Monitor Quality and Pixel Policy for the hp L1520 Monitor

The HP L1520 TFT monitor uses high-precision technology, manufactured according to HP standards, to guarantee trouble-free performance. Nevertheless, the display may have cosmetic imperfections that appear as small bright or dark spots. This is common to all LCD displays used in products supplied by all vendors and is not specific to the HP D5063 LCD. These imperfections are caused by one or more defective pixels or sub-pixels.
• A pixel consists of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel.
• A defective whole pixel is always on (a bright spot on a dark background), or it is always off (a dark spot on a bright background). The first is the more visible of the two.
• A defective sub-pixel (dot defect) is less visible than a defective whole pixel and is small and only visible on a specific background.
The HP D5063 display does not have more than:
• 10 total sub-pixel defects.
• 5 defective red sub-pixels.
• 5 defective green sub-pixels.
• 5 defective blue sub-pixels.
• No more than four pairs of adjacent defective sub-pixels i.e. no fully defective pixel.
To locate defective pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions, in normal operating mode at a supported resolution and refresh rate, from a distance of approximately 50 cm (16 in.).
HP expects that, over time, the industry will continue to improve its ability to produce LCDs with fewer cosmetic imperfections and HP will adjust guidelines as improvements are made.

TCO '99 (European Union Only)

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO '99 approved and labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.
This product meets the requirements for the TCO '99 scheme which provides for an international environmental and quality labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration), and SEMKO AB.
50 English
hp L1520/hp L1720/hp L1820 LCD Monitor
Regulatory Information
The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environmental, ergonomic, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.
Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?
In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (for example, acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.
What does the environmental labeling involve?
The environmental demands have been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation). These demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling, and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or monitor, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
Below, you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental requirements

Flame retardants:
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay, the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative*1 processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.
The relevant TCO '99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.
Cadmium:*2*
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour­generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO '99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
52 English
hp L1520/hp L1720/hp L1820 LCD Monitor
Regulatory Information
Mercury:*2*
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO '99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labeled unit. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.
CFCs (freons):
The relevant TCO '99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.
Lead:*2*
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO '99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.
1* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.
*2* Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
