Hi All, First time poster, looking for advice.
I have an ultranote III, bought in May 2016, and very recently it has developed a fault. Sometimes the screen doesn't turn on.
This can be from power cycling the machine, or just closing and opening the lid. Sometimes the screen turns on, sometimes it doesn't.
In all cases, the machine works perfectly with an external monitor. When the built in display is on, it appears as a connected device in windows, when its off, it doesn't appear.
This all looks like a power issue. I have re-seated the display and power cables on the board, but with little success. When the lid is closed and then opened again, the issue reoccurs.
I'm just looking for ideas on how to proceed, and understanding what is causing this issue.
Cheers,
Andy.
