From time to time the monitor would get the "TV-off-the-air" effect and no keystroke would recover it.
I'd figured if I close the lid (putting the computer to sleep), and reopen it, I can bring back the computer/screen by waking it up.
It seems to be something is loose between the computer and monitor. On the other hand, the "close slid-reopen the slid-waking up the monitor" seems to be a software fix, isn't it?
I am wondering if the LED screen cable is the first place I should look at.
Any suggestion on how to fix this? Any link on how to open and reconnect the monitor on the HP8470p?
Thanks.
