Flashing Display

#1 Post by kennlee » Fri Sep 01, 2006 7:55 pm

My 770's display started flashing for about 15secs and then goes out, I can just see some of whats on the screen when the light is at an angle. If I hit a few keys it will return and starts flashing again for a few seconds and then go back out, got any ideas????

Sounds almost like either the CCFL (backlight) or the inverter are going out.

Sounds like a PIA to change, Think I'll just pick up another on eBay and swap my stuff over. Thanks
