Last time that happend again I got frozen screen like if you press CTRL+ALT+F2 but I could not do anything. It is CTRL+ALT+F7, if you want gnome back.

@dkspook My mic works!
Go to Sound Preferences > Input tab > Connector: chose Mic 2. It should work now. Make sure that is not on mute at Input volume.

@eMarek11 Maybe its heat issue. That would require professional service. Or it is a major drive issue but there are to many reasons for a black screen…

My mic does not work too. I did not know until now. It is not a big problem for, because I do not chat much. But I had some problems with speakers. I changed some lines of code in Ubuntu and now it is ok.

The annoying thing at my 5310m is… I do not even know if is software or hardware bug. When I plug off the power I get black frozen screen with mouse on it. But this does not happen always. If the notebook is on longer time, then almost for sure I will get black screen and I have to reboot.

@eMarek11 Nope – but there are 2 other odd things:

– The internal mic won’t work. At least I can’t get it to work in Ubuntu 9.10

- Sometimes if I close the lid while running on battery, the fan will go ape when I open it again. The fan wil run at full power and keep doing so until I reboot. I have no idea why.

Do you have any problems in Ubuntu, when you plug off the power and continue working on battery power?

Det går da pænt hurtigt
