    Hi !

    I have a scren problem with my Acer Travelmate 8104.
    When I press or push on the keyboard or when I carry the laptop, the screen is suddently scrambling and blinking.
    I think something is unpluged/moving inside the box.

    Does any one have the same problem ?
    Do you manage to fix it ?

    Thank you

    Régis

    It does sound like something could be loose in there. You can't do it yourself though, opening the case will void your warranty. You'll want to send it in for repair.
