Evening (Argh! Morning) I was going to query whether it was a Benq! I had a Benq experience the same issues as described by Gary and Ruben! It was my personal 17" circa 2004-5. It was under warranty and I took it to a service centre but typically it didn't fault while they had it. I ended up having it in storage due to moving and when I pulled it out it didn't work. By then it would have been out of warranty so I threw it especially with the prices of LCD's going down. Even today I still don't run with an LCD at home just using the laptop screen.
Although I wasn't aware that it could be quite a common occurrence!
