I have a three year old Gateway Solo 1450 notebook. I've used it for the past three years at college. I put the computer into 'standby' when I left my room around 3 pm this afternoon and everything had been working fine. I got back around 7 and turned the computer on and the monitor was not working. I got no image and no illumination at all from it. I turned the computer off by holding the power key down for 5 seconds (as the user's manual instructs). I waited about 15 minutes and turned it on again. There were faint images that showed that it was booting up correctly. I've tried letting it rest for a few hours and it still doesn't work. Is there anything (short of replacing the screen/computer) that I could try?
