So this happend today, and yesterday, and the day before that. It's been happening for 2 months give or take a few days.
I've been having troubles with my gaming laptop suddenly going black (screen). It's been annoying as hell when I'm playing CSGO or other competitive games, when suddenly I can't see anything for a few seconds.
After a while, I noticed that the screen would turn back on if I removed my left palm from the palmrest for a few seconds. This in turn made me think it was a bad connection in there, which got disconnected when I layed some preassure on the palm rest. Tried to google to see of anybody had similiar problems, nothing.
Fast forward to today, been playing and getting used to being mildy infuriated when my screen turns black. But today I got the idea of trying to google again. Watched a video on how to dissasemble the laptop to see if there is any relevant connections in there. While watching I was pushing down on the palm rest with my fist, nothing happend. began googling again, screen went black.
Then it dawned on me, I have a fucking magnet on my wrist. About 2 months ago I bought a new bell strap for my watch, which is made of steel and has a magnet as its closing mechanism.
I took of my watch, lo and behold, no more black screen! A problem that's been annoying me for two months, because off something I really already knew (magnets interfering with electrical equipment), fixed, in 2 seconds. I'm so relieved, and pissed at myself at the same time.
English is my second language btw, sry for any errors.
TL;DR: Screen on gaming laptop been going black often for the last two months. Bought a new bell strap two months ago, with a magnet that has been interfering with the computer. Did not make the connection until today.
