Hey,
My Acer laptop screen often goes black (as if the light was turned off), then i press F+F6 and it lights up, but seconds later it turns black again... and this sequence repeats several times... i don't know what's wrong or why it happens, because my computer isn't in a 'power saving' mode or anything like it...
Also, lately it has been taking too long to start. I turn my computer on and then it can take over 10 minutes to start and go that 'Users' screen (the one we put our password to enter...), meanwhile the screen stays back....
Does anyone knows what is going on or any possible solutions? :4-dontkno
thanks...

[follyguy]

did you get an answer to this one? I'm having the same problem...

screen goes blank on power up.
hit fn+f6 to get it lit again
then it goes off
and repeat


Win7 here
Acer Travelmate 8101

I wondered if it was a driver conflict.

thanks
