    Hi,
    I bought my benq 7000 joybook two years ago and now I have this problem.
    The screen of the computer lights up for a very short time and gets dark. Sometimes I could get a quick glimpse of the message and it says IR port manager is not available. What is the problem? Any remedy? Other than this problem it is working perfecty.
    Tks.

    I would suspect a backlight problem, probably the inverter which provides the power for the backlight. Are you able to test the computer with it connected to an external display?

    If you read German I can give a link to the Austrian forum where JB7000 is discussed by users. I have an impression that the problem was mentioned there.
