If the EEEPC 901 had a CCFL, i'd say it was an inverter problem,
but as the back-light is LED, it's not that...<br>
<br>
Where does the whine come from? is it the screen area, or
somewhere on the bottom of the unit?<br>
<br>
It might be a cable, or the screen itself. Cheaper to buy a new
screen than a new netbook...<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
So my laptop monitor has started doing a weird thing, and I
was<br>
wondering if anyone on the list might have thoughts or advice.<br>
<br>
When the monitor is 'turned on', whether through turning the
laptop<br>
on, opening the lid, waking from suspend, or after the monitor
has<br>
been turned off by ACPI, it shows only solid white, and makes
a<br>
small high-pitched whining sound. Moving the lid a bit up and
down<br>
for a few seconds generally sorts it out, and everything
behaves<br>
normally again. Recently it has started taking more wiggling
and<br>
waiting for it to start working.<br>
<br>
Which makes it sound like a loose connection, right?<br>
<br>
The thing is, my brother, who has the same model of laptop
(EEEPC<br>
901), had the same problem last year, and after various
attempts to<br>
fix it, from wedging the monitor cable into place to buying a
new<br>
cable to buying a new monitor, nothing helped for long. He
ended up<br>
buying another EEEPC from eBay and putting his old hard drive
in<br>
that, which unsuprisingly worked like a charm.<br>
<br>
I'm likely to do similarly, but thought I'd throw this out to
the<br>
list, in case anybody has any suggestions or thoughts? It
would be a<br>
pity to have to replace it; everything else works great
(granted I<br>
have gradually replaced a lot of the internals over the
years).<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any clues or advice,<br>
<br>
Nick<br>
<br>
(Who will make it to one of the meetings someday, honest!)<br>
