Gateway MS2274 Laptop - Video Problems.

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

So, I've got Gateway MS2274 Laptop, that is having some video issues.

If I turn on the laptop after it was sitting for several hours(basically cold), it will turn on, but the screen will remain black, if try to use external video, nothing as well.

If the laptop stays running for awhile, and gets warmer, or to speed it up, just put laptop in the laptop bag while it's running for 10-15 minutes, after you restart it the video will come on.

Basically in order to get the video - the laptop needs to be hot, as long as video comes on and the laptop remains turned on, it will run for days with no issues. If it's cold - no luck.

Suggestions?

Strange problem, totally opposite from what I know so far winknudge.gif

Still I would look into a good cleaning (inside out) and review the video cable

cheers ...
