    im havin a problem...i have both my adapter and battery pack installed in my notebook...every 2 months or so when i turn on my computer it shuts down almost right away...so i take out the battery and turn on the computer using the adapter only and it turns on/works fine...when i put the battery in while the computer is on it starts to charge...i already contaced acer about this a while ago and they thought it must be the battery that is malfunctioning since my notebook should be using the adapter as its power not the battery...so i get the new battery and its happening again!! has anyone else had this happen to their travelmates not just my model? (the travelmate 290xvi)
    also my wireless is no longer working...one day i turn on my computer and there is now wireless network available..basically out of the blue its not working....any ideas how to fix this??
    also (boy what a lemon!) wen i go to turn off my comp the screen flickers/flashes a lil bit on/off instead of just going off in one motion to the windows is now saving settings screens, etc and the taskbar goes up/down....this happen to neone else??
    thanks!!!!
