  Hi to anyone who comes along this evening.....

I have a laptop with a screen that has turned black although the program is still working.  I have, in the past, opened the computer and added memory....but is there
something I can do to replace the light....lol. 

Going back to google and see if I can reword my question...."is there a teeny, tiny lightbulb for computer screens".....lol.....love the idea.... Mere

There's some discussion about that kind of problem here.  It's never happened to me so I don't know from personal experience:

No son!!   

  Are you answering your kids on here now?


 

Wasn't he just here??   


 

   Are you okay?

No, now that I know I can't have my spitting monkey....I think I have gone crazy.   


I guess I am stuck with this one.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!   Klaas - give her a spitting monkey anything is better than this pic again!   What if the monkey spits hearts - kinda like those cute hearts magic has!

MyTIME YOU ARE ONE BAD MONKEY~!~  Wait til I get hold of you in Naples!!

PT is pressure washing our pool deck right now.  Oh how I wonder what is waiting for me around the corner?? 

Actually, It was me who almost blew off my toes last time I did some.  I was bare foot and not paying attention and can I just say OUCH!!  Blood and flesh mixed with water sure can make a mess.   

OUCH!!!

Yeah and if you are ever at the car wash and one of those biting flies bites your leg while wearing shorts and washing the car.................... well, that water sprayer is called a jet for a reason!   Took months to heal.  So much for a higher education, eh?

Sis...are ya nuts!  That HURTS!!!

Mere, I haven't a clue ...but will ask my DH if he knows when he wakes from his nap.

Mere, the same thing happened to my LCD flat TV screen.  It just started going black on one side and moved across until the whole screen was black.  Was only two years old.  I haven't taken it to repairman yet but think I will when I have time and see if it can be repaired but am not sure would be worth repair bill as TV's are cheaper than when I bought it even a couple of years ago.

I tried reset and unplugging and all that.  Nothing worked.

Hi Klaas....thank you for the site.....it is the same computer brand and I see that there are many folks with the problem and many different solutions.  You know I hate this kind of thing.  It is a 2 year old Vista....so I many just dig a hole and bury it....and wait for the next Microsoft wonder to arrive.   

[Mere]

Sunny....thanks....been reading for about an hour.....none of it is an easy fix.....sounds like $100 - $500 .....but will check with Office Depot.  This seems to be an issue with some Toshiba laptops.

Anna, I would be so sad if that were happening to a flat screen TV.....is it a Toshiba?

Microsoft is suppose to release their new version in early 2010.

What is Windows 7?
Windows 7 is the working name for the next edition of Microsoft’s operating system, making it the sequel to Vista. (It’s possible that with so much publicity, Microsoft may actually stick with ‘Windows 7’ as the final name.)


It’s scheduled for release at the beginning of 2010. There’s no word yet on how much it will cost.

Hi Mere, No matter what is wrong with my computer,  I call Microsoft for help!!  And they always help me or at least they direct me where to find it.   

The last microsoft guy even took control of my daughter's computer and loaded firefox, even though he are not suppose to.  She has vista and IE8 and I hated it.  LOL

My brother just mentioned this to me last week....he isn't happy with his current Vista, and I have a dinosaur.

SShhhhhhh, 2NJ.  Don't let your puter hear you call it names.  You need to keep talking sweetly and tenderly to it.  Keep giving it encouragement at least until you bring it home a friend.  We don't want it becoming discouraged.  It might do something rash, like get mad and crash.

Maybe some famous artists will hold a 2NJ Aid festival/concert for the cause.

I got a new laptop a few months ago and it has Vista.  It isn't as bad as I thought.  But my problem now is that I uninstalled my current antivirus software and installed a new one.  Now my wireless connection isn't working

If you rebooted your router already, may I suggest calling Microsoft!   

Seriously, they are really good now and no long wait!!
