Hi,got a problem with the monitor on the thinkpad ,its gone totally dark ,you can see the display if you look rally close in bright lit room .
I can get it to display when plugged into my computer monitor ,but only when in safe mode.when i boot up with it connected to my monitor it shows the win XP starting up but goes black when the winxp welcome screen comes up and stays black when winxp loads fully ,it has a Active matrix lcd monitor ,i searched and read but don't totally under stand ,dos anyone know if this type has a florcesent light source or does the definition of active matrix mean it creates its own light , and i have to replace the monitor ,and not just a light stick thingie,or could it be the intel video display chipset ,any insite would help ,Thanks
