Can't see display - what next?

[bluto]

For the second time I seem to have no backlit display on my new X61 tablet.

History: Ordered 6 Nov, delivered 27 Nov. Display backlight kept cutting out, called Easyserv 29 Nov, returned to Lenovo 4 Dec. Received back from Lenovo 20 Dec - they replaced the system board and restored the HD to as-delivered state. Backlight went off once but system has seemed more or less reliable since then.

However... it didn't seem to be as-delivered: I could not get Norton Internet Security and Windows Firewall to stop putting up competing messages, and I was never able to stay connected to the internet (either wired or wireless) for more than half a minute.

So tonight I decided to run the Recovery CD and start over. As soon as I restart it... no backlight!! The Recovery CD has started and is telling me to do something but I can't see what - only faint shapes on the unlit LCD.

I held down the power switch until it shut off, then powered on, and now the backlight works. What should I do with this machine??? Back to Easyserv?

MOD EDIT: Looks bad, but please continue discussion in your older thread and follow the forum rules. Thank you.
