| | Screen goes dark Very recently when i boot my laptop i have 1-2 seconds of normal brightness but then the laptop screen darkens by 90%, and if I plug in a serparate screen i get a perfect picture on that. No system files were changed immediately before the darkening stated, but it was shut down improperly. Also, if I hit the monitor switch button on the laptop then the problem is resolved, but if i remove the external monitor it comes back again. Can someone please help me resolve the issue as I am reduced to crying and swearing and fear I will break something in frustration! |
