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 ...
