Thanks Fabio https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/740893 Hey I have the same laptop and have the same problem when i updated the Kernel. I've been running 2.6.35.22 which has no problems. I initially updated to 2.6.38-8 which i thought at first had failed, but noticed the screen was only usable (and i use that word very lightly) in direct sunlight. I've now updated to 2.6.38-10 which has the same problem as 2.6.38-8, no back light on the monitor. I'm currently viewing the laptop on 2.6.38-10 through an external monitor so i can try to resolve the problem and can run any diagnostic commands you require. Please see the above launchpad link for all the debug information regarding this problem. Thanks, Gary If this is still present in modern kernels please update the bug |
