From: Kurt Ullman on 17 Dec 2008 08:13 Last couple of days, I am busy working on my computer when the screen goes to this really neat light blue for a second or two and then comes right back up. I always pick up right where I left off. It doesn't seem to happen when I am doing anything consistent. One time I was just typing away on Word, another time was downloading to the thumb drive (the transfer was made with no corruption or impact seen on the d/l file). It also happens sporadically. Happened once and then nothing for a week or better and then again, a couple of days, then twice in about 5 minutes. The console reports are consistent, so I am just pasting in the latest. I am wondering if this is just transient weirdness or Impending Doom.

I know better but just forgot. Mea culpa (grin). That kind of sounds like a loose display connector, which would be easily fixed if this weren't a laptop. We're not talking about an external display, are we? It could be some kind of software issue, but we'd need to see the system and console log messages time stamped *at the time of the issue* to get a clue in terms of that. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

A nice LCD 19 incher. Shoulda thought about that, but since I have always used it, I sometimes forget it isn't part of the actual computer. I am using the MBP more like a desktop. I'll tighten down the connector and see if that takes care of it. Since I keep the laptop top more or less closed, I don't know if the main display is doing the same thing. I'll open it up for awhile to see if both go all fershugina at the same time.

If (1) it happens again and (2) BOTH the external and internal screens act alike, I'll get into the system and console logs and post them. k |
