Toshiba Laptop monitor not working

mico887 · 04-16-2007, 10:23 PM

My laptop monitor has just started to flash and flicker black.
Sometimes only parts of the monitor would flicker, and sometimes the whole monitor flickers.
The other parts of the computer are fine, just the monitor messes up.
I also noticed that it only happens when my laptop is unplugged from the charger. Like i said, it only happens sometimes when my laptop is unplugged. So, if i unplug my laptop and it starts to flicker, then i plug it back in...it goes back to normal.

My specs are-processor: Genuine Intel (R) CPU T3200 @ 1.66 Ghz
RAM - 1016 Mb
Mainboard - Toshiba HAQAA
Monitor - Plug and play monitor
Video Card - Mobile Intel (R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
Mode - 1280x800 with 16 bit color depth
Operating System - Windows XP Pro - SP 2

Thank you for any help...because this is getting really annoying!

Hi and welcome to TSF. I'd suspect it has something to do with the LCD's connection to the mainboard. Try hooking up an external monitor to the computer to see if the monitor has the same problems as the flat panel.

Ok, well it doesn't happen when i hook it up to another monitor, so i guess it is a problem with the connection.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks
