I've got a Toshiba Satellite A135 duel booting Vista and Ubuntu. The screen is blank but I have a monitor plugged into the VGA port so it is usable. Changing display settings (single, cloned. extend) hasn't fixed it. Changed the resolution, no change. I uninstalled the driver, no change. Screen doesn't work in Vista or Ubuntu.
When I do change the settings the screen will come on (nice and bright) for about 1-2 seconds and go blank again. Occasionally I can see the screen faintly. I was wondering if it might be the backlight? Anyone have any ideas? Or know anything about changing a backlight? I have an old HP laptop i may be able to salvage the light from if it's compatible. Thanks for the help.
