My Acer Aspire 1703 Desk-Note is playing up. It suddenly and instantly
dies on an intermittent basis. It appears to occur more when under heavy
processor load. Sometimes a little warning sign is given by the screen
dimming for a fraction of a second beforehand. Unplugging the power lead
and re-plugging allows me to restart - but the problem keeps coming back.
I suspect a heat / dodgy connection problem.
Most linux people would do this kind of thing themselves... have you
tried having a look? Hot stuff should be fairly evident.
Can anyone recommend a good repair outlet in town. I have used Dove
Electronics before but the last time they managed to lose (physically)
my entire hard drive - so I'd prefer to try somewhere else.
What - you sent it off somewhere without doing a backup?
Dove are excellent wholesalers - did you give them a chance to make good?
