Why Is My Lcd Display So Dark?
Help! My c-140x LCD is not working properly. It works fine on startup, then goes very dark. It's not an issue with brightness. Sometimes when I close and reopen my laptop it will display normally for about 20 seconds, then go dark again. This also happens when I fold the screen back to begin converting it to tablet mode, or if I fiddle with Fn f4 which is the external monitor toggle.
