I'm hoping someone else has had this problem and can tell me how to fix
it. I've had the above machine for about 3 years now and no problems
until just a few mins ago I noticed the screen was kind of shimmering..
something I had never notice before.. The a few times I saw it blank
out.. Then finally it totally blanked and I couldn't get it to come
back.. The only way I have found out I can get it to sort of work is to
close the lid and open it and it will flicker a bit and you can sort of
make out what's on the screen but then completely goes out again after
about 2 seconds.. everytime I do this the same thing will happen.
Sounds like a bad connection since it will flicker when I open the lid
for a bit.. Almost seems like it's not getting enough power.. Has
anyone had this happen on there's before? It's a shame cause the UXGA
scren on this laptop is the best part about it.. I love it.. I don't
mind taking it apart if anyone has any suggestions..
TIA
