Title: Arsing bloody screen gone again! Post by: Saxondale on Saturday, May 21, 2011, 18:46:02 Chaps, the screen on my acer laptop has gone for the second time in a year. Im a bit pissed orf.
Any advice on cheapest / best places to get it repaired. Am I imagining it or did someone suggest getting one from ebay is better? Title: Re: Arsing bloody screen gone again! Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, May 21, 2011, 18:49:23 You sure it's the screen? Could be the inverter.

If the screen had gone then you'd get nothing, sounds like the inverter Title: Re: Arsing bloody screen gone again! Post by: Peter Venkman on Saturday, May 21, 2011, 18:57:56 It is either the invertor(£15-20 on Ebay and a 15 minute fix) or its the graphics chip on the mobo (pretty much unfixable)
Title: Re: Arsing bloody screen gone again! Post by: Saxondale on Saturday, May 21, 2011, 19:00:23 Cheers All. The same happened last yea rand it was repaired so Id presume the inverter would have been replaced then. Ill look into getting something from ebay.
Cheers Title: Re: Arsing bloody screen gone again! Post by: stfcinbmth on Saturday, May 21, 2011, 19:04:32 Double check the memory is also seated correctly, and if you have more than one module, remove one to test the other and vice versa
