    Laptop randomly activates screen when it's locked


    I have noticed that sometimes when I lock my laptop the screen turns on on its own after a few minutes without any notifications. Could this be a virus?

    I have also noticed that a strange icon sometimes appears on the taskbar and disappears immediately as if a program was launched and closed immediately.

    Laptop with broken screen How much?

    I would like suggestions and look in local stores. I dont wanna buy a laptop from someone online. Sorry. But could be a good idea if you asked him about the performance on older games. Gonna make a list ofall laptops people suggest me.

    Remove the screen for space purpose here its small desk and if the screen is opened it will hide my 22 inches lcd
