Solved! The screen on my laptop flashes on and off. How can I stop this?

My laptop turns on fine, but the screen flashes on and off. If I move the mouse, it comes back on again for a second, then goes black. Everytime I move the mouse the screen will flash back on again. The laptop isn't used everyday. It is purely to run my ribbon printing.

Could be the sleep settings, it could be a loose connection to the display, bad driver, display going bad. A lot of variables there.

Start with updating the drivers for the display and see if that helps. Next try the sleep settings...

1. Go into "Control Panel" and click the "Power Options".
2. Next to the plan that is currently selected click "Change Plan Settings".
3. Now click "Change Advanced Power Settings".
4. Open the "Sleep Setting".
5. Change the settings to what you want and then click "Apply" and then "OK".

If not, most of the other things will require a tech look at it.
