Thanks. I just hooked up an external monitor to it and the same thing happens. I get a few seconds of video and then the external monitor goes into power saving mode... I'm starting to think there is a motherboard problem or something. I couldn't figure it out. At least I'll get a hard drive out of it - it was the only thing I could remove. |

Can you get into the BIOS with the External Monitor? What about Safe Mode? |
| javeryh:
I will give it a shot. Here is a crappy video of what happens: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTdRrFV69vw[/youtube] You can see the picture flash for a second and then cut out... |

Is the image actually that dark? You're probably looking at a backlight inverter failure. What you could do is put it in direct sunlight or shine a very bright flashlight across the LCD and you'll probably see the display working. It could be bad fluorescent bulbs (maybe), bad inverter (very likely), or bad power supply (not likely). |

The image isn't actually that dark (it's my crappy camera - all the lights were on in the room when I shot that!). The picture appears normally at a good brightness and then disappears. |
