Mitac Minote




By petescriv on Jan 01, 2008

" "
I have a "classic" Minote 8060B - P1454IW which is brilliant although getting a bit slow that has now decided to intermittetly turn out the screen fluoro lights.
The image is still showing and performance is OK but I can't see the image.
Two questions:
Can this screen problem be easily fixed (new lights?)
What is the easiest way to speed up the performance?

Same Problem

-   As BIOS starts up I get a couple moments of screen display followed by the display flickering momentarily then no display. The notebook boots it's operating system normally and I can see that the windows graphics are on screen, just! Appears that the controller for the electroluminescent panel has failed!-   russ6901

Problem fixed. The screen surround came off easily to reveal the inverter circuit board. Having retrieved some useful data from "laptopscreensdirect" I made a simple resistor network across the output to the CCFL (lamp). It allowed me to measure the output using a multimeter, Looking for 200v rather than 20Kv. On switching on the lappy the meter flickered and then indicated 0v. I purchased a replacement inverter online from the above web-shop. Easily replaced, my screen was running within minutes.

Enter your bios settings, then find the power managemont, check to see if the system is set to conserve power, disable power savings and see if the problem persists.
