W7 blacks out

pehutchxk — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:20:48 GMT

Computer blacks out, everything appears to be running but no picture. Have to use normal start button to effect a shut down. Restarts OK and may run mins, hours, or days before it repeats the problem.

Any ideas

Hi pehutchxk

Do you have any more details on the model of your computer? The display manufacturer/model if it's a desktop. Operating System details etc?

Thanks

Hi Binbash

It is a Sony VGC-LA3 all-in-one which I bought new in 2008. I am running W7 Professional

Hi pehutchxk

I see that this model has some issues with the screen backlight, if you google "sony VGC-LA3 nvidia" you might find the top result contains opinions and issues with the problem itself.

This may be the part, but I am not 100%, if you search for "sony VGC-LA3 inverter" it may be the replacement.

Auction sites seem to sell this as new for about 30£ so it may be replacable.

Maybe someone has seen a similar issue before?

Hope we can help

Hi Peter

No problem, I hope it stays alive until you find a new shiny one to replace it :smileyhappy:.
