I thought it might have been a issue with the back light but I have Ubuntu on the same machine and Ubuntu starts up perfectly fine every time. It only happens with windows 7.
Windows 7 rc runs perfect on this laptop. However I have one strange issue; sometimes when I start the laptop and when it gets to the log in screen the screen goes very dark, other times it is fine. At the right angle I can still see the login screen but again like I said it is extremely dark...
