    Hey all,

    I have a problem with my G50VT-X5. Sometimes when I bring it out of sleep or power it on, the screen will either

    (1) Stay "dark," but it's not dead. It's just dark colored, still lit up, like it's in BIOS. CPU LED indicator shows there's activity and i can press my caps key and activate/deactivate the caps LED

    or

    (2) Start changing colors...red-->green>blue>and so on.


    Sometimes, closing/opening the laptop solves this problem, but not always. It many times stays this way. Turning off the monitor's lighting (FN+F7) doesn't solve the problem as reactivating the monitor light just brings me back right to the problem. I can still see stuff perfectly on my 24" external monitor while it's plugged to the laptop. But the standalone screen's been having this problem quite a bit lately!


    Could someone please tell me what the problem is and whether I can hope to hire someone in my area to get it fixed reasonably cheap? I'd like to keep this laptop as it's been overall solid and reliable aside from this problem!


    Thanks!
