I am on an iphone so i will be short.

My laptop (as above) after installing 11.04 through update manager is opening the aspire screen then the blank screen with the flashing white hash. After this a totally black screen without back lights comes on. Occationaly seemingly only after i changed boot 'from' on my Bios screen it would load grub. I then even once managed to log on. I went save mode(or wjat ever you call it) and then it loaded up in text so, startx loaded up the normal
screen, minus the top and bottom. So i couldn't effectibly work it or even open terminal. When i shut down and restarted the old problem happend. Again i cant even get grub.

Can someone help?

Thank you

tom
