Re: Screen goes black and Can't right-click!!!

I would try a new mouse, to see if your mouse is having some problem.

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.

Contact Dell tech support for repair. There is probably a failure of the AC
adapter and/or the charger chip on the motherboard.
