    I received a refurbished 6930G-644G32Mn today, it is almost new, only few scratches around the screen that are barely visible but it hasnt been used more than a week imo.

    First issue, there was an ATI 4650 instead of the advertised 9600GT :( but the company told me that they could refund me 20euros for that so it doesnt bother me that much as i already paid it a good price.

    The most problematic thing is that if i close the screen the computer shut down completely (every leds are off, definitely not hibernating) and i can only revive it by removing battery and adapter...
    It does that even if i am in the bios so its not Windows related and i have the latest bios available :(

    If i open/close the screen when the computer is shut down it will work without any problem but as long as the computer is ON if i close the screen it crashes the laptop.


    Do anyone have an idea of what it could come from? of what i could try?
    I dont really want to have to use the Acer warranty, if i can avoid that it would be nice :)
