So I noticed recently that the right lid hinge of my Acer 1830T was loose.
As of yesterday, it actually falls open, because there's no longer enogh friction to hold the lcd up at a 90 degree angle to the base.
Then I notice that as it pulls excessively, it warps the plastic chassis base. Looking more closely, I see the screw nearest the hinge is gone. Then I notice a couple of other screws are gone too.
I never removed them -- I've never even opened the case. And I don't see the screws anywhere; maybe they were never there, and I just didn't notice.
Until I can get a warranty return, what size screws do I need to keep this piece of crap from literally falling apart on me?
(Acer -- never again. Cheap components, poor build quality, constant frustration. The trackpad has never worked right, three of teh rubber "feet" have come off, now two screws?? Please.)
