Hey, I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. Recently, I've been having a major problem with the laptop. It first happened when I put the laptop in Sleep mode. When I trade awakening it, the screen came on only momentarily and then blacked out. I closed the laptop to put it into sleep mode again, and then turned it back on, and the same thing happened. The computer was continuing to run, but the screen would only display for a moment and then go black.
To solve this problem, I had to shut down the laptop and reboot it. This seemed to work, however whenever I would put the laptop to sleep the same thing would happen.
A few days later, the screen started doing the same thing after completely rebooting as well. The Dell Loading screen would come up for a second, and then the screen would turn black and, although the computer was still operating, nothing on the screen could be seen. I could, again, shut the computer to put it into sleep mode and awakenen it, and the screen would work momentarily (showing the log-in screen after rebooting) but then it would die again. If I did this enough, and played with it enough, I could *eventually* get the screen to stay on and the computer to function properly. Once the screen stayed on for a few minutes, it would continue to stay on and work properly until I shut down the computer or put it to sleep.
This obviously seems to be some sort of problem with the screen or LCD display functioning properly, as the computer seems to be running fine underneathe the screen. Any help on what I can do to fix this problem?? I am afraid that the next time I turn off my computer I wont be able to bring the screen back to life.
