I have a little more to add.
When it goes black, I tried the control alt delete and the computer did
not change.
I then put the screen down and put it to sleep and when I put the screen
back up
the display showed the task manager.
So, I'm starting to wonder if I have a bad screen, or something else?
IN any event I will probably have to send it back, but I want to ensure
there's nothing software
that could be causing this.

It works fine, but it will randomly just turn off the display while I am
actively using it.
Look carefully at the screen while shining a light source on it. Do
something noticeable like moving windows around or flipping between
applications (i.e. alt-tab). You might see an image, in which case it's
really the backlight that's failing.
Sometimes when it does this, if I try to put the screen down it will not
sleep. Other
times it will sleep fine. I have found no way to just make it come back
on.
It is running Windows XP. Any ideas?
I appreciate it.
