hey, im still waiting for my new laptop to come in so for now i pulled out an old compaq my sister just discarded. It apparently boots up okay and I can get to the windows desktop. However after about 5 mins, the screen will turn from bright to dim for about 3 seconds...and then from dim to totally black. However, the laptop is still on and it is not locked up. I can shutdown the computer using alt+f4 so i know the laptop is still functioning except for the LCD. It seems like there might be a connection problem. The laptop is way out of warranty so i can rip apart this sucker to get an extra 2 weeks out of it if i know what to look for. I dont think the LCD is bad because it does start up each and everytime into windows and the screen stays bright for a good 5 mins each time. I know its not the msblaster virus because the laptop is still on, it does not restart. Any suggestions? Thanks.
