Weird turned off screen issue lately with an old laptop
My laptop is 6 years old. Lately it started to have an issue: I've been connecting this laptop to a second monitor for years via HDMI. Now when I unplug the HDMI and I want to take to another place, the screen stays off, but the PC is still on (so it seems).
I have to shut it off and turn it on in order to make the screen work again. Luckily I have a good SSD so it's not that of an issue, but still it's annoying.
Is it a software problem, or the laptop is starting to die?
