Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Acer Laptop blank screen, won't connect to external monitor.

Hi, I have an Acer Travelmate 290, and the acer support forums are non existent, as apparently are its call centre crew.

The laptop was switched on and i had msn/firefox running, and the screen suddenly went blank. I tried to run a diagnostic the same way i'd done with my dell laptop, but this did not work, neither did connecting it to an external monitor. I also checked the battery which seemed to be working fine.

When i reboot the laptop, I can hear that it's running as seemingly normal, but nothing appears on the screen, not even faintly, it'scompletely blank.

I can give specs as required, I was on OS windows XP.

if anyone can shed some light on it, i'd be really grateful
xXx
