How long is 5 minuets??? :lol: :lol:
My brother has a similar problem. His internet hub and flatscreen tv are plugged into the same double switch. If the tv is on, then he switches on the other switch, the tv goes off for about 5 seconds.

Sounds almost like some kind of power surge. What happens if you switch it on with the PC off?

That would suggest the monitor itself is OK. Do you have a connector for an external monitor on the laptop? If you do you could try it with that to see what happens.

I would say more likely it's the cable, which is probably hard wired so can't be replaced :?

Which wire do I have to cut?
No No don't do the Hollywood count down please. Tell me/ Red or Blue!

Suppose that's coming out of me beer money.
If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.
