Laptop Display Issues

Post by aeroeng15 » 13 Oct 2012, 05:15

Hey all,

So for about the past week, if I put my laptop to sleep, close the lid, and then wake it up, the monitor is very dim. I can still see the display, but its very, very hard to make out. This often requires me to switch to the internal graphics or fumble my way around to get it to restart. Either way takes a great deal of time and effort, and as I have to bring my laptop with me to do work at college, this is a huge pain since everything has to close and re-open.

Specs:
HP Pavilion dv6
Windows 7
Internal Graphics: Intel HD
Other graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470

I had called HP and after spending $15 and ~1.5 hours, they told me that it most likely is a loose inverter connection.
A second opinion on this would be appreciated.
