SGF, Supreme Grumble Framer
I use my laptop every day. I turn it on first thing in the morning, and it stays on all day - I turn it off just before going to bed. I use it for all of my studies and writing, and most e-mailing. (And a little grumbling, too...)
Saturday night I turned it off as usual. Sunday morning, I was going to finish up my lessons, and when I turned it on, the screen immediately went black. Scared the hound out of me. All I could think of was all the writings I hadn't backed up yet.
When I'd move it, it'd come back on, then off again - over and over. Finally it stayed on and I set to burning cds.
And then, to beat it all, I couldn't get the cd burner to work - but that was probably due to panic, as it worked fine after church.
Then, it stayed on all day with no problem. I turned it off last night as usual. This morning - same thing! However, I noticed that if I just barely move the lid/screen it comes back on.
Off, then move it, and on again - over and over. But, it is still working (I can type pretty well in the dark!) And, I noticed, if you look at it in just a certain way, you can still see the pictue - just like there's a dark film over it.
And now, after it has been on about 15 minutes, it is staying on (so far...)
Any ideas? Loose wires or lug nuts maybe?
