    Screen lamp

    Hello.....yet again.

    I seem to have unleashed a veritable Pandora's box of "things" with my Astone Z series laptop.

    The newest thing is for the screen lamp not light up when rousing from standby mode. In order to get it glowing , I must restart the computer. A bit of a p.i.t.a.

    The notebook is a 2004 model and it may simply be a matter of it being knackered.

    If there is a fix for this issue, I would appreciate hearing about it.

    Thanks and regards,

    Andrew

    no.

    Additionally, I discovered that I could relight the LCD by pressing the LCD on/off switch twice(once to turn it "off" then again to turn it "on") which would relight it.

    I noticed it flickering a little as it warmed up until it eventually went out again at which time I did the LCD on/off trick again.

    I was able to vary the length of time the screen stayed lit by altering the brightness.

    Eventually though, I believe a temperature issue caused it to just fail straight away when I tried the on/off trick too many times.

    I am going to transfer screen number 1 to my secondary monitor so I can at least still be functional.

    I'm wondering if I can get a replacement lamp unit?

    Pleae advise, oh knowledgeable ones.

    Cheers,

    Andrew
