Laptop Screen?

Question by Liam M: Laptop Screen?
I turned on my laptop today only to find that the screen is blank every time I boot up. Now I look closely I can see that it is actually very, very dark. I have not tampered with any settings and I don’t think there are any settings I can change although any suggestions are welcome. I fear it may be that someone has knocked it and the screen needs repair and if this is the case than could domeone give me and estimated price they think it would cost?

Thanks.
Suddenly this morning the screen worked. No idea why??? Thanks for the responses.

Taking Beats Anywhere, by Bluetooth
Best of all, the speakers play music that's on your phone or laptop, over a Bluetooth wireless connection (maximum distance from phone: about 35 feet). In other words, you already have the world's greatest touch-screen remote control.

Q&A: How can I improve my laptop gaming wise?

Question by Fate: How can I improve my laptop gaming wise?
I’ve got a Laptop that is made for entertainment and gaming and everything is great except maybe the graphics. They’re not very “sharp” and when I play an online mmorpg, I compared it to my friends PC and his one runs much more smoothly

my laptop has Mobile AMD Sempron processor 3400+ , 1.80Ghz and 868MB of RAM.

is it my graphics card thats letting me down? which one shall i buy?

Best answer:

Answer by Daniel C
I’m not an expert on graphics cards, but I have a few thoughts.
1) Before you start playing, shut down any unnecessary programs. De-activate your screen savers, wallpaper, and Windows sound effects.
2) More memory is better (if your system can handle more) particularly with an inefficient operating system like Windows. Every machine has an upper limit.
3) It might help to shut down certain browser “extras” like Google Toolbar (if you have it), which will give your browser less to think about.
