    Hi,

    When i close the lid on my replacement dell xps m1330, and then open it again, the computer wakes up but i get no display sometimes. The computer is awake since i can press all caps lock, numlock and see the lights go on and off.

    on my original one, i get the display but the display setting goes back to dark setting which was bearable.

    i have just performed a clean install of vista and only have the drivers installed.

    My replacement has bios a6 and motherboard a04. I am going to try downgrading the bios to a5 and see if that makes a difference.

    Any ideas?

    Not to worry.

    I've had enough of my replacement. No display and cpu whine. it worse than my original.

    another replacement on way and this replacement is going back!

    update your display drivers to 163.01 and it will work fine
