    On my E1505, when I close the lid i have it set to stay on but turn off the screen. However when I reopen the lid sometimes the screen wont turn back on, either I have to close the lid and reopen it, and then it works, or sometimes I have to restart the computer in order for teh screen to come back on.

    Yeah, my E1505 does the same thing also. I'm not sure why it does it.

    happened to me also, but worse. the screen wouldn't turn on, and when i closed the lid it wouldn't turn off, etc, etc.
    had my lg lcd replaced. it's fine now but i have a samsung and it sucks badly.
    still waiting for my 4th replacement...

    I had the same problem with a DELL Inspiron 5160. I think it helped to hit the Windows Key or Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE. I had a screensaver which needed a pass toget back in. But doing that from what I remember did work at times. SO HAPPY with my Vaio SZ!!! I was close to getting another Dell, glad I didnt!Good Luck.
