    Default yep it's another computer problem

    okay, so i'm stressing right now and thought maybe someone here could help. I have a Gateway laptop, only had this since December. Never had a problem with it until this morning.

    i was over at my friends' house and suddenly the screen went dark, i thought the comp had just shut down...but it didn't. You can still see the stuff on screen...but just barely. In fact while writing this, it's really tough to read.

    i don't know what to do. I know that it still works, because when i restart it, it will light up for 2 seconds before going dark again. I have no viruses, but i'm doing another scan just to be sure.

    does anyone have any idea what happened? Can i fix this myself?? Or do i have to take it in somewhere??

    any help would be soooo appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

    That sort of sounds like a loose connection. Definitely not a virus, just a mechanical problem. I'd take it to a computer repair shop and have a diagnostic done. It'll either be free or cost very little to fix, especially since it's only a few months old. I'd think it'll still be under warrenty.

    Hell, I fried the motherboard in a 3 year old PC and Future Shop fixed it for free under warrenty for me.
