Look as your screen is bad but do you can try of get new drivers, new accelerators for your lap video, because you said it goes away but as soon as i let go it comes back, to seem drivers accelerator problem. |

Any idea? |

New member Username: GlebrialPost Number: 1 Registered: Sep-07 | Sorry, you're all wrong. For future reference, this can't be a virus; viruses are software, and bending the laptop is not an interface maneuver. The computer has NO idea you're bending it, so a virus cannot detect such a thing as an "event", so to speak (I bet tons of ubergeeks are flying in a roflcopter right now) This is what's happening. There's a contact in the back of your LCD that is being made that shouldn't be. Remove the rubber things on your screen, those will reveal some screws. Unscrew the thing, and then slowly snap off the front cover, exposing the LCD screen. (If you're not careful you'll break the screen, but hell, who cares the screen sucks anyway--buy a new one and leave your comp disassembled in a safe place and you can just plop the new one in) Now, if you're an expert with hardware, you can somehow figure out a way to relieve the offending area without doing something stupid like I did. What I did is jam a few business cards I had handy into the offending area. It should be a part of the circuitboard in the same place as your offending area(s), but if not, just poke around with a pencil and see what it does. YES, you will have to do this plugged in and turned on! But don't worry, it's just a screen, see above if you somehow are crazy enough to fry the screen!!! When doing this, you should be looking for areas that make it WORSE when you do this--this is because the offending areas will get worse when further contact is made, so you gotta try and force that to happen. if you make it "permanently" worse, don't worry, you can always jam some more business cards, or improvise, come up with your own solution  Now if someone could only tell me why my old Acer gives me direct read/write errors on whatever hard drive I throw in! |

New member Username: Adiram15Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-09 | @Gleb, Its probably because one or more drives on your laptop has fat32 file system which the default file system which acer configures it as. I think changing the file system should help, btw changing file system means formatting the hdd and loosing data....:D |

New member Username: CarolineruPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-10 | I'm having a similar problem with an Acer laptop running on Vista. It's only about two years old- and has been taken care of pretty well. The issue here is that the screen is distorted or has lines running across it, or sometimes the screen will freeze at the slightest touch and gradually fade to white, starting at the bottom left hand corner. This used to go away if I would push on the back of the screen or tap lightly on the top or side, but now it only seems to be resolved when I bend or warp the screen. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jGdVOcbDX74/SaqaiQdoXWI/AAAAAAAAAts/bNDyLCkgA_k/s400/A cer_Aspire_laptop_Pentium_dual_core_T3400.jpg there's the laptop- the exact model. Is there anything I can do that is low cost to fix it? I don't have the necessary skills to fix it myself. |

New member Username: MipitPost Number: 1 Registered: Jul-10 | Guys, please don't ever buy a laptop again. I know what you did. You either, A: Bent the screen or punched it, crushing contacts together, B: Dropped your laptop. In either one, you don't know how to care for it. And also, never buy a dog or a cat, you might break those too. |

Also, I'd like to meet some one who has never dropped anything. Because I very much doubt they exist. |
