Hello everybody! :wave:
I am having some problems with my VAIO PCG-K25 lcd. :sigh: Yesterday, as I turned it on (it was in stand-by), my lcd started flashing for a couple of minutes. It stopped eventually and everything was fine. This morning, though, as I turned on my laptop, the screen was entirely black until I moved towards me and all of a sudden the screen was fine.
I have read some stuff about this and it seems to me that there might be something wrong with either the inverter or the backlight. Am I right? How can you tell the difference? Oh, I forgot to say that I have noticed lately that the LCD is just not as bright as it used to be.
Now, the warranty is not good anymore; I suspect they will charge a fortune to replace this. Is there any way for me to figure out what's wrong and replace it myself?:4-dontkno I really DO NOT want to get another one (I love this one! :heartlove ). Also, how long do I have before it goes completely black--in other words, should I start backing-up?
