What you're describing sounds like a hardware issue to me.
Is the screen reddish/pinkish on initial boot?
I'd return it anyway and hope for the best...
Cheers,

Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] T60 display shutting off
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.
