noblegas said:I have a thinkpad laptop. It will not come on. It was working fine with no signs that the monitor will cut off later. Its on a warranty, so I can get it fixed. But I don't want to go through the arduous process of packaging my laptop and waiting for a week until it gets fixed. What do you recommend do to revive the monitor myself?

Otherwise I think it's pooched. I had that problem on my laptop and had to send it into get a new screen.

Topher925 said:This is not a good idea if it is under warranty. You know those "warranty void if seal is broken" stickers? You laptop probably has at least 2 of them that will have to be removed in order to take it apart. After you remove them, you warranty is just about worthless.
How do you know its just your monitor and not the entire thing shutting down? Whats the model number?

There could be several reasons for this issue. It could be due to a drained battery, a faulty power supply, a loose connection, or a hardware failure. The best way to determine the exact cause is to troubleshoot the problem by checking each of these components.
If the issue is due to a drained battery, simply plug in your laptop and let it charge for a few hours before attempting to turn it on again. If it's a loose connection, make sure all cables are securely plugged in. If the problem persists, it could be a hardware failure, and you may need to take your laptop to a professional for repairs.
Yes, it is possible for a software issue to cause problems with your laptop monitor. It could be due to a corrupted display driver or a system update gone wrong. You can try troubleshooting by starting your laptop in safe mode or rolling back any recent updates that may have caused the issue.
To prevent this issue, make sure you properly shut down your laptop before closing the lid or putting it to sleep. Also, avoid exposing your laptop to extreme temperatures and keep it clean from dust and debris, as these can cause hardware malfunctions.
