I guess this is also one use case where an extended warranty does help. It will cost you more, but if it happens, you'll never cry. One of my laptops has a 3 year warranty with Toshiba and they replaced the motherboard and LCD already after the 2nd year which makes me feel like I have a new laptop. As for the issue, it definitely looks like a backlight problem. A busted graphics chip will usually show no display at all even if there is a backlight, but your case is reverse. -- Jerome _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
