I have a Toshiba Tecra 8100 and more and more frequently the monitor shuts off. I can fix the problem by depressing the switch that turns the monitor off when the laptop is folded up for just a moment.

The problem doesn't seem to have a catalyst I can pinpoint, it just fails... sometimes after the system has been on for hours, other times just a few minutes. Sometimes it will fail three or four times in a minute or two and then won't fail for a few hours.

This is, as I am sure you can imagine quite annoying. The OS is Windows 2000 Professional and power settings are correct and google has been unhelpful.

thanks,
