ACER ASPIRE ONE FAULTY SCREEN PROBLEM

After 5 days of use this happens to my Acer Aspire One. Approximately 200 pixels on the right screen are not working.

As you can see it's not just windows - the post at the start also shows the missing screen area. UPDATE: Managed to fix it by running recovery but randomly it does it again and recovery loses all installed applications.

Hey Mate, what did u do to resolve this issue, same thing is happening on mine

[justintechnology]

I have found doing a Windows XP restore point recovery the best option.

I upgraded my RAM and ran into the same problem.

Your LCD cable is plugged in too much or has come unplugged.

Pop off your keyboard (Look for a video explaining how to take apart the laptop/upgrade the ram. After you get the keyboard off of your laptop, you'll see the LCD connector- It's right next to the Status LEDs at the top right.)

Unplug it and check that it is fully plugged in.

I am 100% sure thats what your issue is, no doubt.

I am telling you from experience.

(happen to me six times)

This solution worked for me. Thank you!

For me it was a short term fix....I sent it back to Acer and have received it fixed. They advised me that the Video cable was faulty and replaced it.

Mine does this on Linpus and also on Ubuntu. Removing the SD card and then the battery and rebooting seemed to sort it at first.

Now it is stuck like this and won't give me a full size screen - it's going back to Amazon!

Errrr...No....

Obviously this was the first thing we tried.

Once in windows there is no native resolution option.

Also, notice the bios also boots to this resolution where the right side is unused.

Tried that first thing....doesn't work.

I have found that the way to solve it is to delete the Monitor driver in winxp and change it to Plug n Play. For some reason it keeps changing from plug n play to 1078x768 driver.

So once I do this it solves it for a few days.

It's a bit strange that a windows driver affects the screen size of the POST screen but the post screen seems to use the last settings from the operating system.

I had exactly the same problem, except that it did this from the beginning. How did you solve the problem, if you did so, or did you have to return it ?
