Vaio blank screen
I have a Sony Vaio PCG8C2M which has two problems: The minor one is a constant nose from either the fan or the hard drive - it has always had this since I purchased second-hand 2 years ago. it has not affected the performance.
the serious one is that the screen suddenly went blank/black but it was JUST possible to see the computer was working. Closing the lid and re-opening brought it back on for a few seconds but then it went off. A repair man diagnosed a faulty inverter and fitted a new one after which it worked OK for a day or so, albeit flickering a bit. However, it has now reverted to the blank screen again; pressing the lid-closing sensor switch and releasing brings it on for 2 seconds and then it goes.
The computer is working away underneath but cannot be accessed except for those 2 second slots. total frustration!
Has anyone any ideas other than buying a monitor and plugging it in?
