    Hello, i bought this laptop at 2013.12.24 and after using it 6month it feels like something is wrong. Here is picture
    http://puu.sh/9ghXI/8654c89459.jpg and another http://puu.sh/9gi02/9ae54d9877.jpg
    Now i try to describe problem. When i trun on laptop it look like everything works normal, but when i change screen angle this lines appear. When changing screen position these lines disapearing and appearing again. Sometimes they gone for about 6hours then it starts again. It doesnt matter if i am playing game or using network. It's something with screen or with video card? Or maybe with screen cable? It dissapears if i keep opening and closing my lid until i find possition where is no lines.
    Waiting for answers.

    That's definitely a cable. Contact Acer support (you are still covered by warranty) and send the notebook to them.
    While it's an easy and cheap fix there's no reason to do it yourself if you don't have to.

    Yup i am under warranty. All i do was take off video cable ant then place it again. For about 2hrs there is no problem. I hope that was the solution :)

    Probably not a long term solution. It's not bending in the exact same way not as it used to, so it's no losing connection on whatever wire is malfunctioning.
    If you don't feel like sending it in, and it's currently working - find and order a replacement on-line.

    It won't be more than $20 and will most likely come in handy anyway.
