HP Pavilion f1503 screen blackout

Jul 14, 2006 7:36AM PDT

I know somewhere in the threads there's an answer for me, but there are waaay too many for me to go through and I've gone through a lot already ready what everyone's been saying.

I bought my desktop Aug. '04 and about two months ago my screen started just shutting off.. It would go compeletly black. It use to be that I could turn it off for a couple of seconds then turn it back on and it would work, but it's gotten to the point where I turn my computer on and it will work for about 5 minutes then shut off and won't turn back on. I can faintly see the background but not enough to do anything with it.

The blackout starts from the left side then goes through the whole screen, usually leaving the top right hand corner visible for a couple of seconds until it's all black.

Did anyone find a solution for their blackout problems, or is this screen pretty much a lost cause? Please email me at calderon04@yahoo.com if you have any solutions for me!!
