Weird power quirk

#1 Post by krazykritter » Mon Oct 10, 2005 11:19 pm

I just got this laptop and I've seen it happen a couple times. When I've plugged in the power cord the screen will dim to the point it's not lit at all and won't come back to normal until I reboot but I can barely see the screen to do that. On two other occasions the laptop has actually completely shut off as soon as I plugged in the power cord.

I've updated all drivers from IBM and Win XP SP2 with all available updates. There are no hardware conflicts or unexplained errors.

Any ideas?

Bad inverter, if you're lucky
