Screen Problems

Jb — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 09:28:37 GMT

I have a sony vaio FS series notebook and i seem to be facing a rather strange problem with it these days.

The brighntess of the screen changes depending on how the screen is positioned. E.g. it gets dull and if i move the screen slightly up or down it gets back to normal. I bought my vaio in April of this year and i find this to be quite shocking that the screen is already giving in?

Is that the real problem?

I think your laptop has a light sensor (LDR) which automatically adjust the brightness of your screen according to the room light. Also don't block the sensor if you have one on your screen (small hole). But I am not too sure.

I do not think that FS series comes with those (LDR). Does it?

If not, there could be loose connection:smileyconfused:

if ur laptop screen is ATI mobility, and not X black with 2 lamps, then u definitely must look directly into it coz u will lose brightness by looking from any angels.

ATi Mobility is the make of graphics chip, it has nothing to do with the screen.

I can only second the other guys and suggest you get it looked at by Vaio Link.

The FS series comes with XBlack 2 screens, which work with double lamp technology. On the other hand no VAIO of the FS series came with an ATI chip.

Blue, you are really beginning to get on my wick! Why look at Dixons when Sony has a whole site dedicated to its PCs!!! Vaio link is the place for all the info you need, and if I were you I would quit riding your high horse and think before you post again as you are making a complete idiot of yourself!

That is why you are getting a slightly hostile reception. be cool and so will we, be an idiot and well, you already know what happens...........
