    Hi, I have an Acer Aspire 1 Netbook (AOA150-BB)!! Had the Netbook for about 6 weeks with everything working fine. About 2 weeks ago my screen image was replaced with what I can only describe as a pastel bar code. This is an on-going issue and is made worse when the screen lid is moved. I have tried plugging into an external monitor with very little success. Windows xp will start up but that is as far as it goes, then nothing.

    I have already sent my Netbook in for repair, the main board wad replaced and bios updated. I received it from Acer earlier this week only to be presented with the same problem. It has gone back for repair yet again.

    I would really appreciate any advise on this matter and also to find out if anyone else is experiencing the same issues with this particular model.

    Hi, I have the same problem, my Acer is just over a year old, and I have been having the problem constantly for about 3 months, sometimes my screen goes all different colours for several minutes and I need to tap it a little to get it so I can see everything again, and have control of my mouse, usually i can see part of the screen but my mouse appears to be dead, I assume it is jus that the communication between the keyboard and the screen is not working, but not sure, and now I closed the lid on my machine about an hour ago, opened it up now and it has the same pastel type bars that were described earlier, and I cannot see anything at all, I shut it down and booted it up again, it is booting fine but I still cannot see anything, does anyone have a solution, this is crazy.

    By the way it is an Acer AOA150-1153
