I've had my Inspiron 6000 for almost a year now, but it has just recently contracted this problem. When I first bought the laptop, the laptop monitor screen would switch to black after I closed down the lid to a certain degree. Now, I can still see that the monitor remains on after I close the lid completely. Is any having similar problems or a solution to return it to normal?

By the way, I haven't made any changes to my power options. Under Power Options, Under Advanced TAb, and under "When I close the lid of my portable computer:" I have set it to "Do nothing" (The other options are standby or hibernate)

Thanks Anyone who can help!
