    I have an Acer Aspire 5532, and when I turn it on sometimes the screen will work fine, sometimes it will be very very dark, and then come back to its normal brightness after awhile. It even works fine for maybe 10-15 minutes, then goes black. I replaced the power inverter and it still does the same thing. I was thinking maybe the screen itself might be going? I hooked up an external monitor to it and it worked flawless, so I kind of ruled out the video card. Has anyone else had this problem on this laptop or one similar to it?

    Does it have anything to do with you moving the screen?
    It's also remotely possible it's a screen cable.

    Moving the screen doesn't do anything, it's very random at when it works and doesn't work. Im going to take it apart and try re-seating all the cables. See what that does.
