    I've been experiencing this for awhile and I thought it was just drivers problem. So I updated the drivers but it still happens. When booting up, the screen just goes white until XP have been booted or when I'm watching a video or just surfing the net.

    Do I have to reseat the cable ? It would be a hassle as the warranty is still valid and I have to go as far as Indonesia if I want to fix it without voiding the warranty.

    It may be fixed by reseating the LCD cable, but sounds more like a GPU or LCD panel issue i'm afraid. If its still in warranty in indonesia then ACER should uphold it here under ITW (International Travellers Warranty) hope this helps
