Hi all.
Having some problems with my laptop. Basically I noticed a line at the top of the screen and it worried me, so I went to a computer guy and he told me the screen is dying (more specifically there is a wire that is loose, but not completely loose). He told me it can still function for some time if I refrain from moving it. Like I have to treat my laptop as a desktop. In any case, my screen sometimes randomly goes black. But if I restart it, it comes back to normal. I also have two operating systems, Ubuntu and Windows. It happened all the time in Ubuntu but not that much in Windows.
Trying right now to use it without a battery to see if that makes a difference (had a similar problem a few years back with it, and then it was the battery that somehow made the screen go black). Hoping it makes a difference, but it might take a while before I know for sure. My question is basically, do you guys think the screen randomly going black and the screen being dying are related? Or can it be something else?
Having to buy a new computer might ruin me because I have no job and hence, a terrible economy. Repairing it is apparently expensive as hell so I cant do that either.
Take care,
Kerr
