HI
I have a Dell Studio XPS laptop. About 4 1/2 years ago I bought it from Dell as a refurbished unit. There were some minor problems that were fixed by Dell under the warranty.
The past few months when I close the lid (without powering down or putting it in the sleep mode) when the lid is about half way closed the screen will flicker (go black) for a second and then come back on as I continue to close the lid. It does not do this all the time. Then, there are days when closing the lid the screen will flicker 2 to 3 times or more as I continue to close the lid. Then after that,,, for a day or more everything is ok.
Any suggestions as to what the problem could be???
Thanks
Part ll
Just being curious. First, thanks for the info.
When closing the lid on a laptop,,, is there some type up switch that is used to send a signal to shut down or put the laptop into a sleep mode? I realize each brand of laptop might have a different way of doing things.
