    Plug it into an external monitor and see if it happens on that

    Also check the switch that tells the laptop that you closed the lid to make sure it is not stuck (thought that probably would make your PC go into Standby), and check the power settings to make sure you don't have Turn Off monitor right away (thought moving the mouse, or pressing "any" key would bring it back on)

    Could also be a defective laptop. Do you have any warranty left? If so you might want to contact the manufacturer about an RMA procedure.

    My sister called me about 2 hours ago, and she has the same problem with a HP, so I will get some hands on experience on the problem tomorrow. Her laptop is out of warranty, so I will have to fix it or fix it

    Several issues could create the problem....all of the above are good places to start.

    Sounds like a loose or bad LCD cable or possibly the LCD panel going out. Does your system have any kind of pre-boot diagnostics?

    I fixed my sister's laptop. Just booted up and it worked fine. My sister said she has tried several times since Sunday and could not get it to work...so how to fix it? Put it in the carrying case and take it for a spin in the car. Maybe the laptop just wanted to take some fresh air

    Ohhh MILAN......IT IS NICE, ISN'T it? I drove from Alicante (SPAIN) to Ancona in the west, little north of middle Italy. You should have bouth an Acer Ferrari to match the place
    There it is, get a Ferrari or Lambo (or Alfa) and drive it really fast
    (Sorry one of my silly jokes just slipped into my keyboard)

    Update, just in case. My sister's laptop seems to be completely dead. I turn it on, and the leds come on, but there is no fan noise (that is OK, they "Might activate later", there is no post beep, no nothing. Maybe having a 2 year old step on it is not good for the laptop
