    I have a Satellite M35X and the lcd keeps whiting out. But when it does the computer still works, and if I go into standby and return, the lcd is normal again. Any ideas?

    I just did, and the external does not go white even if the laptop does. So it must be a hardware problem? Maybe a loose cable connection between the mobo and the lcd?
