Help!
I took my laptop to the beach to watch a movie. At the end of the film some stuff spilled and got into the air vent but I cleaned it out. Now I try turning it on and the monitor goes but not the screen. It is black. I charged it thinking the battery was dead but nothing!!! HElP ME! I just bought one week ago!

Gateway MX6442 darkened screen problem.
The LCD works when plugged into a different motherboard.
I’ve tried a system restore and various ATI display settings, all connections are tight…
Am I missing something or do I have to come to grips with the fact I need a new motherboard (which isn’t going to happen…)?

I have a Gateway 3018 and the other day the screen went off. Now it will not come back on. When I press the power button the power light comes on and the busy icon will flash once. The fan will come on after a few minutes. I can also open the cd-rom tray. I am not sure if is a booting issue or what. Please help!

Laptop Freak!

So.. My dad’s laptop has been freezing in the middle of him watching films or doing such and such. So I thought maybe we could do a system restore type job and VAIO has a recovery program on the laptop so I followed the steps. We saved his important files on a USB already and began rebooting one of the drives but the laptop just turned off (so I don’t think it went through..) Now when we turn it on it displays the Windows XP screen with the loading bar but then the screen just turns off. However, the lights still indicate that the laptop is running.. any suggestions? I’ve tried going through safe mode but the same thing happens.. I haven’t attempted to reboot the whole system using the options given with safe mode either.

Sorry.. it’s a VAIO Model PCG-6P2L with Windows XP Media Centre Edition 2005

Hi,
I have a toshiba laptop and it broke a few weeks ago because the screen went black. I took it into the computer place and the button that shuts off the screen when you close it was stuck. Well last night it happened again and if i push that button the screen will flash on but goes away in a matter of seconds is there anyway i can fix it with out taking it in?

RebeccaRose,

WEIRD THING Screen runs perfectly on battery power. If I plug in power cord it turns black immediately.Will the screen stay bright when connected to the AC adapter if you reduce the brightness?
Enter the power management software and reduce screen brightness for the AC mode. Reboot the laptop and see if the screen stay on.

Ben,

I TOOK THE OLD SCREEN AND PLUGGED IT BACK IN AND THE SAME THING BLACK BUT I COULD STILL SEE THE WINDOWS AND THE HORIZONTAL LINES I KNOW THAT THE OLD SCREEN WAS WORKING BESIDES THE LINES

The laptop still works fine with an external monitor attached and you can use it with external video, right?
Try downloading and updating the BIOS. I know that some people experienced exactly the same problem with their Satellite 105 laptops and updating the BIOS helped to fix it.
