Acer Laptop Monitor Problem

Hi AnrewFreyne.... It flickers when I open it at a certain angle.. If it's in a 90deg or more, there's no problem, but lesser than this about 80deg, 75deg or less, flickering continues..makes reading difficult... If the inverter card is the problem, what will happen to the monitor? Will becomes blackout? So do you think in my case it's only a loose connection? It's not under warranty anymore.. I will try to open it myself, hope I could fix it and be able to put it back again...Coz if not, hu hu hu... I already changed the settings for the hibernation but still i can't wake it up...

If the inverter card underneath your laptop monitor became disconnected completely then you wouldn't be able to see anything on your screen at all. it could be a loose connection. With computer problems it's all about testing things and seeing what works and what doesn't work. If you are going to open up the laptop yourself you must be very careful and make sure that you don't make a minor problem much worse. The first thing you must do is remove your laptop battery. Also, before touching anything inside the laptop make sure that you ground yourself first! Computer components are very vulnerable when it comes to ESD or Electro Static Discharge. Before touching anything inside your laptop make sure that you touch a metal port on the rear of your laptop! This will release any static charge on your finger tips. Then you can do what you have to safely and this will protect the electrical components within your laptop. I would think very carefully before opening up your laptop. The inverter card is just underneath the monitor! There should be a couple of screws at each end that you can remove and this will allow you to remove the very thin cover and you should then see the inverter card under this. How long have you had the laptop? Is it worth just purchasing a new laptop with a full warranty and just make sure that you renew the warranty everytime it expires? Well, I wish you luck. Andrew

Hi opportunity2u.. Thanks for the reply... I'm afraid of opening my laptop, coz maybe i wont be able to put it back again and will just lead to more serious problems... Anyway, I can still stand it...Just asking for any idea which I need not to disassemble/open it... For the hibernation, i already tried changing my settings, but still it's the same, I can't wake it up...still need to long-press the power button off... one solution here, just don't leave the laptop unplug, so it won't hibernate, ha ha ha ..(but still I want to find solution for this)... Thanks again.
