    Hi guys,

    I have been the happy owner of a gx640 for about a month now, and have recently started to experience a minor problem. I thought I'd touch base with the MSI community here to see if there is an easy fix.

    Occasionally, when I have the machine unplugged and have recently put it into Sleep/Hibernate, the machine's display refuses to turn on when I power back on. When this happens I need to take out the battery completely to get the machine's display to turn back on.

    I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know if there is an easy fix. I've checked that I have the latest video drivers and I do. I didn't flash the VBIOS but I'm pretty sure I checked that I have the most recent version when I got the machine.

    I'd appreciate it if anyone that has a solution could explain step by step what needs to be done. Thanks in advance!
