Hello

My Dad has an Acer laptop which he bought from John Lewis about 18 months ago (it is still in warranty). Just recently he has been having an intermitteent problem when without warning, white parts of the screen go pink. This is sometimes accompanied by interference type lines flickering on the screen. It has been back to John Lewis and Acer and they can find no fault. They say they have stress tested it but - nothing. They can't even get it to go pink, but I know it happens because I have seen it.

There is now a bit of a stalemate as they say that without seeing it they can't fix it.

Any thoughts or similar problems anyone. My gut feeling is that it is hardware (loose connection?) because of the flickering lines.

Thanks
