Hey,

I was using my laptop fine last night when it locked up. That happens sometimes with this machine, nothing too out of the ordinary, so I powered it off and back on. But when I turned it back on, the screen remained black. The lights came on, fans whirred, and CD drive responded, but nothing registered on the screen; it's as if it weren't receiving power or something.

Any suggestions? I've never had this happen before, and I didn't physically move the computer at all from the time it froze to rebooting it last night, so the chances of a cord or connection coming undone are minimal.

Thanks in advance . . I'm just confused.

Jason

Bad screen inverter, most likely... has been going bad, will get worse. Time to see the repairman, as the part is hard to get... and costs about $80
