| | Re: Screen goes black and Can't right-click!!! Some more things you could try: - Update drivers (Most important: Chipset, Video, Mouse) - Check your energy options in the Mobility Center (WIN+X) - Check your device manager (control panel system settings) for wrong settings for your keyboard and mouse or malfunctioning devices. - Try other ways to get the screen to show up again (Use the other device, press other buttons or keys) Good luck and have fun, Tom W.
