I had the same problem on my old ThinkPad... it was a loose connection inside the lid, where the leads plug into the LCD. Try plugging a monitor into the auxiliary monitor output jack, to see if you get an image. If you do, this is probably your problem. It is fairly common in ThinkPads, and other vintage laptops like GRiDs, as well. -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ -weblog http://radio.weblogs.com/0128450/ A business is as honest as its advertising. .
