[QUOTE="traceyjj, post: 403235, member: 27458"] Just a follow-up to this. I took it to 3 computer repair places on Saturday to get a quote/idea of what might be wrong. 3 places, 4 different ideas as to what it was. The last 2 places I took it to was a PC world who do a free "diagnostic" check. First one was unhelpful and diagnosed a hard drive failure, but would need £50 an hour to "check it out" plus any parts it might need. Second PC world were much more helpful AND they got it working (even though its intermittent) THEY think its the ribbon that connects the screen to the base of the laptop. Unfortunately, IF my model is one type it means a whole new monitor, and at 5 year old I'm not sure its worth spending a few hundred £s repairing it. So I am limping it along until I can get the money saved for a new laptop (or desktop if we get more space at home LOL) [/QUOTE]
