I have a Compaq tc4200, notebook/tablet. It's about 2 to 2.5 years old.
I've searched for answers, googled, but nothing really helpful yet, so before I hand in my laptop to local pc repair shop, I wanted to check in with fellow geeks. My weak point has always been laptop repair.

The monitor on my laptop will, at random moments, just go blank, but each time a different color of blank. So, for example, I'm online and reading a post on LJ and then suddenly the monitor just turns neon green, or pink, or blue, or any other shade and hue and color you can think of.
If I close the laptop, let it shut off, and then open and turn it on again, everything is back the way it was before my monitor blanked out.

It feels like it might be the video, but I want more input to know for sure before I do anything.
I love my laptop *sniff* *sniff*

I've ruled out viruses and the like. AVG is up to speed, running perfectly, AdAware checks out, Defender checks out, CCleaner, etc... no slowdowns in performance, just the monitor.

Any guesses?
