topic completely dead screen - or is it? in PCs & Accessories https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/completely-dead-screen-or-is-it/m-p/120843#M84027 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have a Vaio notebook, model PCG-9E5M.<BR /><BR />It has suddenly stopped displaying anything at all. The screen is completely dead.<BR /><BR />The indicator lights appear to work and it is making a faint humming sound (implying that at least a fan is working).<BR /><BR />I have tried many times in frustration to reboot, then just one time it all worked again. I later shut the notebook down and I am now in the same, non-working, situation as before.<BR /><BR />I did wonder whether maybe there is a switch, that detects whether the notbook is closed, and that mabe that switch is stuck.<BR /><BR />Anyone have a clue what might be going on here? Thanks.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Jan 2007 09:25:54 GMT xou 2007-01-16T09:25:54Z completely dead screen - or is it? https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/completely-dead-screen-or-is-it/m-p/120843#M84027 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have a Vaio notebook, model PCG-9E5M.<BR /><BR />It has suddenly stopped displaying anything at all.
