If it still seems to stay up when the screen is going black, that could be a punctured or torn video cable. Could maybe be the processor daughterboard. Try to reseat it if you can. if not, then it might be the video cable but without opening it, it will be hard to diagnose... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fear and loathing n.: [from Hunter S.
