Default LCD screen of laptop needs to "warm up"?

civ2ru wrote:
In the last couple of months, I've started encountering an error - the
laptop LCD screen is blank upon recovery from Sleep Mode or upon boot. After
rebooting or closing/reopening the lid (or sometimes just waiting a few
minutes does the trick), it starts working and after that works consistently,
it's just the initial "warm up" period from off or sleep state. Any ideas on
how to fix it or troubleshoot it? Would be greatly appreciated!


What's your definition of "blank"?
Is it dark? Lit up, but solid color? Lit up, as evidenced by light
leaking at the edges, but otherwise black?
If it's dark, have you put the head of a flashlight right down on the
display to
see if maybe there's content, but not lit up?
