Don't know if any of you computer people might know what is wrong, or if it is repairable. For a couple of weeks now i have noticed my screen keeps flickering slightly on and off when i am using it, abit like a power cut but only for seconds. Once i came back to the laptop and it was all dark but i had left it on so i just switched it off and started it up again and it was ok. Then last night it just flickered off whilst i was using it, when i looked really carefully i could see the page i had been reading very very faintly in the background.....what on earth is going on????
It is a fujitsu siemens laptop by the way and nearly two years old, please don't tell me it has had it Thanks just in case anyone can offer any help

Sounds like the backlight for your screen may be faulty.

Mine started doing this last year. Needed a new monitor, I'm afraid. £100 minimum.

Thanks for replying. Can i get a new screen for a laptop....?? Hopefully it just needs a new backlight then...bet thats expensive with labour and all that!!
