I have a dell inspirion 8000 series laptop. Latley, at random times (although it seems to happen quicker when I load and close many windows ie. web pages) my screen will either go completley black or half of the screen will go black. if you hold a lap close to the screen, you can still see everything. Its almost as though the lcd's backlights are going out. Yet, when I restart the computer, or even bring it in and out of standby (horrid I know) the screen is back to its glorious brilliance. Of course, it then randomly goes black or half and half again. Any one else have this issue, or know of its cause?
