R: [ltp] Screen Blanking out

[Luca Benelli]

looks like the illumination shuts down.. not a software problem then you
would see nothing... I had a problem like this, the cable connecting the
display to the motherboard was loose.. fixed by IBM on guarantee....
don't know if it's the case but seems quite close to it.

Hope it helps, Luca

Oggetto: [ltp] Screen Blanking out


Dear Friends,

I bought a used TP 770X, PII 300. It had win2k on it
and I put RedHat 7.3. The install is fine and
everything works pretty much except sometimes the
screen blanks out for no reason. It blanks out to the
point where I can just barely see the outline of the
open windows. This is easily fixed, though, by
pressing Fn F4 twice which first puts it into standy
and then awakens the computer again. But I don't think
this is normal. This is not the automatic timed
screensaver/standby because this has happend while I
was typing an email. Has anyone else had this problem
and/or do you know how to fix this? Thank you very
much.
