Hello,
seems it happens on battery power only, when the LCD goes blank, it usually take a button or mouse move to bring it alive again. but in my T60 it doesn't work all the time. it happened around 5 times so far.
I found that a system stand by->resume (fn+f4) will bring the lcd back to life.
any other see this problem?

I also have the same problem. Have not really determined the cause.

Is it just the screen that goes off or is your computer going into sleep? (as on battery mode, it's possible that after x minutes the pc goes into sleep while on adapter it just turns off the lcd)

i am sure the system is alive except the lcd, as I can access the nb's files using network share. caplocks sound works too

hi,
this KB patch looks fit to my problem. I've installed it and did a few LCD flipping, it is OK so far.
thanks for your information.
