My monitor screen does not turn on at the start...the indicator light is greyish...after long wait, it gets purple and then i need to re-start the computer, then it starts. It is quite annoying.

Hi,

Have you tried to use the device with a different phone? You can also try to reset the device: Close the headset's boom (microphone) and wait for the indicator light to turn off. Open the headset's boom and wait for the indicator light to display a purple light, a purple light signifies the headset is in pairing mode.

Can you hear the Hardrive whirring, are there any messages on screen, or is it just dead with a purple light on.

You'll need to get an desk lamp of some sort to light your face.
What is happening is that your face is being lit by your computer monitor, which will give it a purple cast to it.
Find a nice, bright soft-white desk lamp to place to the side of your computer screen and that should be enough to prevent the purple face.

Make sure that any devices previously paired with the headset are turned off. If the indicator light is flashing in blue, turn off the other device and wait for 10 seconds. The indicator light becomes steadily lit in purple indicating the headset is now in pairing mode.

1. take a flashlight and light on the display after you started the computer and waited for about 5 minutes, if you can see the windows environment the inverter needs to be replaced (normally it's in the display frame under the display)
2. attach an external monitor to the laptop and boot. if the monitor shows something you don't have a defective graphic-card (maybe you must push fn + one of the fn-buttons showing a monitor)

if you don't get anything displayd by an external monitor the graphic-card might be defective - you would need a "new" motherboard then

can you try an external monitor?

Check the fuse on the inverter board F1.

Check that the pc to monitor vga lead is not loose at both ends, check your graphics drivers are upto date, although it could well be a monitor fault and replacment required, as don't think they are worth reparing these days
