The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

DELL INSPIRON 600M LCD SHUTS DOWN

Asked by hmchi in Hardware Components, PC Laptops, Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: dell, inspiron, 600m, lcd

Hi, I do not know what ahppened, but all of a sudden, my laptop's LCD decided to sleep whenever it wants to.  I am now forced to hook it up to a CRT to type this question.

I used the BERLAC ADVISOR  to obtain the info on my hardware and I have copied it beneath this question.

The symptom is --- About 10 hours ago, in the middle of use, the Dell laptop seemed to have decided to turn off display if AC power is on.  Even when on battery, the system seemed to love going to hibernation.  I tried various settings with Del Quickset and put it on presentation mode, which is supposed to tell the computer that I want the LCD display always on, whether on AC or battery, it still shuts off LCD unpredictably.  On AC, it is predictable, I only get to see a flash of the screen for about 1 xecond and all went dark.  The battery power condition is a little better, but getting worse by the hour ...

Connecting to the CRT, there is no problem at all.  When I tried to switch between LCD and monitor, the LCD will flash the correct screen for a few seconds and go dark again ...

Guys, any idea what went wrong ?  I need this to travel with me soon ...

Thanks for your help ...
