    Until recently I just thought it was going to be a rare occurrence for my screen to turn off for no reason during normal operation but its getting bad. It mostly happens coming back from stand by with the screen just not coming back on. It also does it in the middle of doing things. I know there are a lot of E1505 users here and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what to do about it. Thanks

    Try changing/upgrading your VGA drivers.
