Hello,

I am working on a project laptop. thinking the problem may be software related I fdisked the master boot record and formatted the whole hard drive before doing a clean installed of Win XP sp3. I can still have a screen by using the vga out and hooking up a monitor. The screen on the laptop works for a minute or two every boot, but has to be transferred to the monitor before actually using it

screen looks ok before going black. video cable suspect. any suggestions?

video cable or backlight or inverter any of these could be the cause of the problem.
