Winbook Laptop - Super DIM screen - 09/12/08 09:19 PM
I am hoping someone can help me with this.
My laptop was working just fine with or without the power cord.
Then one day when I booted up without the powercord my display is so dim it might as well be no display. Reboot WITH the powercord and all is well. I can even unplug the powercord as soon as it has desktop and it still works ok - even for a number of hours.
Then one day when I booted up WITH the powercord my display is so dim it might as well be NO Display. So now - No display, WITH or without the powercord.
I can connect an external monitor and all is good on the monitor but not the laptop display.
BUT - If I close the lid far enough to energize the "LID IS CLOSED" switch then open it right back up, the display comes on in full brightness.....for about 2 seconds, then disappears again.
Any ideas ??? and it is NOT the battery.
