Yesterday I had this weird pixelized image show up on my monitor that wouldn’t go away. I shut my net book down using the Start Menu, but when it came back on, a horizontal black bar showed up across the screen. The rest of the screen was gray. I turned the computer off again for the rest of the night. This morning when I turned it on, it looked normal, and I thought it was working again, then suddenly the screen went completely gray. Not even a black bar now. However, I can tell that everything on the computer is working. The screen saver kicks on after a few minutes (you can’t see it, but you can hear it because it has music). This leads me to believe that it’s simply a monitor issue.
Has this problem been reported before, and is there anything I can do about?
alpha1 – Welcome to the forum
Is the problem exacerbated by the movement of the lid?
If so then it could be caused by the lcd screen connector and or the wiring harness lead to the motherboard.
These threads have more details.
White screen (of death?)
need help lcd ribbon cable needs changing on nc10Alternatively try re-installing the graphics driver and maybe consider a cmos re-set.
What machine do you have and is it under warranty as it may be prudent to contact Samsung support.
Hope this helps

[/quote1274374391]Yes, I think the prolblem is entirely related to the movement of the screen. If I shut it down and wait a day, I can start it up and it will work fine. But I make sure not to move the screen. One exception was when I left it on and didn’t touch it for several hours. I came back and the white screen of death was back. I could hear the screen saver running.
I have an N130. It’s less than a year old. I did not buy any additional warranties., so I’m not sure if it’s covered. I haven’t even registered it yet.
I have no idea how to reinstall the driver or to do a cmos reset.
In the meantime, how do I connect my netbook to an external monitor? The connector on the monitor has two screws on the side, while my netbook does not have a place for those screws. What is the adapter/connector called that I need to look for?

[/quote1274380847]As the machine is still in warranty it would be an idea to contact Samsung Support to get it fixed under guarantee.Hope this helps

[/quote1274381051]The monitor lead should have a 15 pin vga connector which plugs into the vga out socket on the sammy. Press [Fn] + [F4] to switch the screen to the monitor.Hope this helps
