T40 's are known to have issues with flexing motherboards because of how thin they are. This coupled with a weak solder on the GPU causes it to become lose and cause garbled screen or even worse, no video output at all. I would suggest looking into finding a someone who will try and re-solder the GPU. Google will help you the most!

That's not a solution
My T40 is too sensitive, when I move it the screen goes black
that was a long time before
Now, I have lucky if i got it on a long time without freezen and genttin' the black screen
People tell that is a video card problem
I replaced and I have no changes
I open it and I wondered that the case is "curving" the mother
when i put some presure on the edges, the computer starts and work
It's not easy to solve this problem. It's not a great deal buy a T40...
good luck

Do not shake your laptop.
There are components, like hard disk, graphics card, that are sensitive to shakes.

My lenovo y410 screen keeps shaking

Go to BIOS and check if the screen will shake in there if not try to uninstall and re-install the video driver that you have. If the screen is also shaking in BIOS it means there is something wrong with your video card.

My asus u50f laptop will turn on but the screen stats black?

Make sure the internal VGA cable is connected on both ends and that the scree power is plugged in a good rule to follow when building/putting back together laptops is to try to test it with everything plugged in before screwing hope that helps =]

Laptop scree has a blue veritical line to the left side of the screen.

your screen is either about to fail or was severely pressed against a hard surface. unfortunately in most cases you just have to change it if the lines become too many. but in the mean time you just have to soldier on

I can't guarantee that you will receive a e-mail to your address, because I just work here and you must contact me through channels. Now, let us see... If you think that the computer is alive, forget it! Dwelt by mysterious ghosts, boo hoo! However a computer is a complicated machine and can think for itself and make decisions, but not like any brain of an animal or a human. Computers have to have someone make their decisions. This is actually the one thing that they can do: they follow instructions 100%, had two memories: one short term and one long term. But still they are not living beings! I am sure that your computer will be fixed and you will be very happy for it if you can provide me with the following information: Name of computer, model number, Mother Board ID and a detailed description of what happened in your own words... Even though I am sure that you know, I would like to caution you, not to tinker with any of the controls on the MB. A slight increase to the CPU chip supply voltage, can cause such a high current that certainly the heat sink of any CPU cannot dissipate the heat and the CPU chip will commit suicide. The MB ID can be found in between the white PCI sockets, or else around the RAM memory sockets. They only list the serial number. Using the serial number on the IT, you can find the name of the manufacturer. So, we need that number. The letters and numbers are so large that you cannot miss it...So, I will expect your information! Thank you for considering our service...
