Title: inspiron 1000 start up problem (i need help plz)
Post by: firedudechad on November 09, 2006, 01:48:42 PM

I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 that would randomly shut down.  After much trouble shooting, I discovered that when you move the LCD screen even an inch, the laptop screen would shut down, and I would have to reboot.  I know that some laptops offer a power saving feature that allows a user to either hibernate or put the computer to sleep when you close the lid.  I don't even have to close the lid, moving it an inch will cause it to shut down.  I turned off all of the Power Saving Features in XP, but it still does this.  Bad LCD, or is there something else that is causing this?

Open up the control panel, then choose Power Options. Click the advanced tab, and answer the Power Buttons questions; click apply and OK your way out.

Good luck.
