    Hello users of the forum!

    I have a problem with an Acer Aspire 5101. When lifted up or moved, the computer locks and the screen gets strips across. Then I have to reboot, and everything is ok again. I'm trying to open the laptop to look after lose connections and such, but I'm not sure about how to open.
    I have opened laptops before, but there is always a little different between laptops. And after some reading on this forum I see that it's difficult to find a service manual. But I'm asking anyhow, does anyone got a guid for opening the Acer? It would be great! :)

    I didn't find anything when opening the computer, but the problem is still there. After consulting Acer, it's posible a damaged mainboard.
