speedlamper 0 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 sounds like your backlight or inverter has gone, can be costly, if you have another monitor plug that in and move everything onto an external drive if you have one, if not go back to markiebois post Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Raggedstaff Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Plug in a monitor and you'll be good to go. Then go and buy an external USB hard-drive. That way you can back everything up regularly. Oz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Raggedstaff Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 When you plug in a monitor you need to change the output over from the LCD. It is usually "Fn" with one of the function keys, on mine it is F8. It is martked with either a symbol of a monitor or LCD/CRT. Hope this helps. Oz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
