I have recently purchased a laptop (Lenovo 3000 n100) which is running vista, lately I have been having weird problems going on with the display, sometimes the backlight on the monitor will come on but nothing will be displayed, it will normally take me a few times turning in on and off before the monitor decides to display something and then let me sign in to my account. On one occasion the monitor came on and it split the screen display into four quarters which was very weird, so I reset it, I tried to use chkdsk to solve the problem as the error on the screen suggested with no luck, then I tried uninstalling the programme that I thought was the culprit (The problems all started after I had installed MSN) but that didn’t work, then I tried using system restore manually but that was weird too because the option dates that it gave me as restore points were only dates from about a month before, (when I still had the problem) and no dates before that, so I then tried using last known good configuration which probably made it worse, When the computer actually does start it goes to repair and recovery, which then performs a system restore to a previous date when I still had this problem, creating a vicious cycle, nothing has worked, that I have tried, and now I can’t get the display to work at all, only the backlight comes on, is there anyone that can help? without a display?

is this still under warranty? also is the behavior the same when an external monitor is used?

Yes the laptop is under warranty, but I brought it while I was living in NZ now that I've moved over I can't really send it back, although I haven't checked if I can take it anywhere here in Oz yet, I haven't tried using an external monitor because I don't have one, this is the only computer I have and so if I want to surf the net I'm stuck using the internet cafe after work. Are there any quick fixes that I can try now?
