Very annoying laptop problem!

Every so often, my laptop's screen will flicker off.

That's it. No warning. No reason why. The computer continues to run, but the screen has effectively "switched off".

When I close the laptop's lid and bring it back up again, the screen has come back on again. But because I have closed the lid, the laptop is automatically going into stand-by mode.

And whenever my laptop goes into stand-by mode, my wireless connection is broken. For some reason I can't always reconnect after recovering from stand-by, so I have to reboot the computer.

Help! Why on earth does the screen flicker off when it feels like it? How can I fix this?

Could be a dodgy cable, or the inverter is going.
Contact VAIO-Link for a repair

As a temporary measure, you can change the settings under power management to "Do Nothing" when you close the lid!
