    Try swapping out that screw with one of the other ones you already have screwed in. One at a time until you find the right one. You probably just have a wrong screw in a wrong place. Good luck and keep us posted. :)

    That doesn't make sense unless somehow one of the screws in the wrong place is to long and is causing a short by touching something it shouldn't. That doesn't really make sense either though. And why would you want to sue them when it was YOU who took the notebook apart?

    well because from the moment it came out of the box it wasn't 100% :p that's why :p but i meant it as a joke ;)

    Well know my notebook is runnning again.. think it going to maybe be time to go back to XP .. never had these problems :p

    Well.. booting time is verry slow.. it boots you get that vista sound with the logo then like 30sec black screen with the mouse... and then i get desktop.. so weird
