Three times when restarting my T61 computer from hibernation mode I have ended up with a Fogging Fading Purple-Tinged Screen.

The screen comes on normally, then begins to fog up with a purple tinge around the edges, and finally fades out completely with an opaquely fogged up screen.

By doing a fresh reboot, I am able to get back to a normal screen mode.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. Is it an occasional glitch that I shouldn't worry about? Or, is this the beginning signs of a great problem down the road?

Regards,

FRANK

This has happened two more times is the past two days.

Once when I swapped my ultrabay drive (replacing CD/DVD drive with a hard drive caddy), and then again when I switched off the wireless connection using the switch on the front panel.

The annoyance of having to reboot is bad enough.

Hasn't anyone else had this sort of problem?

I had this problem briefly while a service tech was on-site attempting to fix the thing he screwed up on his prior visit. It was caused by a loose connection on the ribbon cable where it connected to the socket on the back of the LCD inside the lid.
