[ale] Laptop screen going out???

[M Cover]

I agree - but if you have a good machine is worth doing a little investiment.
It is cheaper to replace the LCD than the entired machine. Good luck!

  The backlights are _very_ specific to the type of monitor/machine though. They
are not too fun replace either.

    Backlights ARE replaceable. Not sure how much. Check to folks
advertising in the Computer currents.

      It's definitely not the embedded graphics because it works fine on my
external monitor. Unfortunately it's more than a loose connection too. If I
wait long enough, the thing flickers real harsh then it goes black. However,
if I look close enough I can makeout my display and it is active, just no
light. I guess my backlight is overheating now... :-( I'm not sure if that
can be replaced by itself or not. Any laptop hardware types out there know
any better?

    thanx & later,

        Hi there, another alternative is ebay - they have great deals on part, I 
have repace a LCD on my Toshiba, and is wonderful now, but make sure it 
is only your LCD going out not the embedded graphics --- Later , m
