    I have T40 that i bought from a friend. Computer runs great but for some reason in the last couple days when i go to stream a video the screen will go BLANK.

    However when the video loads it will come back. This concerns me, anyone know if this is a common issue?

    Anyone know anything about it?

    Thanks for your help

    I would say that if it only happens under those circumstances then it's probably your video codecs, sometimes they mangle together and cause problems and errors. If this happens randomly at other times then it could be your LCD Inverter which you can find on Ebay for cheap. Good luck!
