    I just purchased a used Mt3707 laptop. It had windows vista on it. i noticed after i got it that the wireless did not work and after you put it in sleep it would wake up but nothing on the screen with out restarting the computer.. I thought it was a vista thing. so I had my brother install XP.. and we are having the same issues. Followed other peoples progress from this site on changing to XP on this computer using the same drivers and such. so my question is what else could it be? that would cause the wireless not to activate.. and the sleep problem too.. if it goes into standby it wont come back out unless restarted.. if you hit restart through windows when it comes back the screen is black as well... any ideas? I would really appreciate any help.
