So, for the second time in as many months, my laptop is going back for repairs. Strange problem, another one of those things that I’m apparently not sure how to google for … either that, or it really is some kind of isolated problem.
What happens is that the backlight on my Toshiba m55 is blanking out on me … when I open the hinge past a certain point. That’s not good, because that certain point is well below the one where I can actually read what’s on the screen without hunching over and reading over my hands … And, of course, the problem is getting worse. It gets harder and harder to even get the backlight to turn on. Happened to me earlier, sent it to the shop, and they swapped out the backlight. Apparently, that wasn’t the initial problem, because whatever’s wrong worked it’s way through a second one in pretty short order.
So, it’s back in the shop. Hopefully, this doesn’t take too long. Otherwise, it’s back to “what’s a good laptop …” And this one was only 10 months old; not a good record.
