timbojill Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 My Monitor in my hacintosh laptop turns off the second Snow Leopard Logs in. It is a Dell latitude D620 Laptop. I was wondering if anyone here can let me know if it is a Graphics or Power Issue. When you startup the laptop the monitor loads up normally. I have to hook up an external monitor once it turns off.

I have to hook up an external monitor once it turns off.It's graphics. Namely VGA drivers...EDIT. Check this for possible work-around http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80615 Though I'd suggest fixing the driver.

Check this for possible work-around http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80615 Though I'd suggest fixing the driver. went to the website. "Worried about this i readed some and I found that the expected resistance of the circuit between pins 6 and 12 is 75ohms, so, if you want to run osx in your laptop and you need the paperclip trick, better go to radioshack, buy a 68 ohms (or something very near to 75 ohms) at 1/8 of 1/4 watt and use it instead of the paperclip, and you will have a safe jumper for your laptop without the risk of burning your motherboard." I have used the paper clip trick before making the post and nothing works. Now what is this "buy a 68 ohms (or something very near to 75 ohms) at 1/8 of 1/4 watt and use it instead of the paperclip" ?
