RE: 5 minute freewrite 2977 prompt stunning
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Sounds like a bad monitor connection. There is a bundle of wires running from behind the screen through the hinge and into the motherboard somehow. Depending on how your laptop was built, fixing it is anywhere from "pain in the ass" to "what bastard designed this bullshit?" If you have the right cable, you could plug the laptop into a TV and use a wireless keyboard and mouse to get by.

Thank you for the info, but hooking up to the tv will not work for me. Maybe it was the angle I had the monitor because it seems to be working now. It is leaned back further than I usually have it. I will play with different positions and see if it does it again, that should tell me if it is a wire, shouldn't it?
Yes, if the connection issues seem related to screen angle, there's definitely an issue with the hinge and video feed wiring.
It had no problem when typing a reply to you, BUT halfway through my freewrite it started blinking again. I did not move the top part. I thought you were on point with the problem. Back to the drawing board!!! Everyone tells me I need a new one, or new to me one.
