Emachine E525 laptop display not working, works if I use VGA the VGA will work. I hit Fn+F6 and the display will work for a few seconds, then blank out again. I have tried changing drivers, opening the laptop and checking the ribbon cable connections, and reinstalling windows.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help you can offer. Grand daughter’s laptop, and school is starting soon

I called emachine and they told me to try a ‘power drain’. basically, it involves shutting down, disconnecting everything except the power cord, removing the battery…then booting back up.
VOILA !!! it worked. I shut down again, put the battery back in, and now the laptop display works!
I have no idea how it fixd it, but I’ll take it.
