I am sure everyone has seen the posts about me getting a new laptop. I already had a really nice Sony Vaio All in one, so it was really nice to have two computers. Well, when I got up this morning I tried to get on the Vaio and it wouldn't come out of sleep. I was moving the mouse, so I decided to try the sleep button on the keyboard. Well, this made it go to sleep, and when I moved the mouse the screen came on and everything works for about 3 seconds, then the backlight cuts off again, and I can see that the picture is still on the screen, but it is completely black because the light isn't on.
I have already done a system restore and made sure the power settings were adjusted right. It is definitely the backlight in the LCD screen. I guess all of those nights of movies and Hulu finally took it out. I only had it for about 8 months. So that sucks. It cost me a fortune, but the warranty should cover it. I should have a new computer in a couple weeks. As much as I paid for that thing, I better have a new computer in a couple weeks.
It just sucks so bad, I loved that computer. It was the best computer that I have ever owned. I hope that I can get it fixed, or get another new Sony laptop that I have my eye on. It is a really badass computer. I guess only time will tell now. If it's not one thing it's another. I mean, it was sound bound for something to happen to one of my computers because it was just too good to be true to get this laptop for free, and not have any problems out of either computer.
I was kind of getting tired of having this big ole computer desk in the way. I think I would rather have another laptop to save on space. And, I love to be able to take my computer with me. The only way I will get another laptop, is if it has the power that the one I just lost did. I don't want to take any downgrades. And I want it to be a Sony. I just knew something was going to happen to it.
