    Hi I have a msi 210 with a problem with black screen .. originally I had thought it was a connector problem so i tried re-plugging in the cable.. for the screen ... I have also tried the fn/f5 key a few times to see if that was the problem ....

    the really strange thing is if I hook up a external monitor I can see everything running fine I also tried toggling the monitor to screen but nothing happen ..
    But the strangest thing is I can get a screen on utbuntu after it loads up and run not sure which driver... I get nothing before then so right from boot up till the driver gets installed I get nothing .. so I'm really lost for what is causing the problem ..unless the keyboard is messed up and the f/n key is not functioning properly...

    Thanks for any help ahead of time
