My new Acer Aspire S3 is showing some strange behavior from time to time. When coming from sleep, it's not coming on and stays on. Instead, display flashes like car's turn signal. It goes to full brightness, then immediately dims to full darkness, stays dark for a moment, then flashes again and so on. Nothing that I do with the mouse or keyboard seems to help - it just keeps flashing. The only way to get the notebook out of this vicious cycle is to put it to sleep again by closing the lid. Next time, chances are it will wake up just fine.

Hi Alex.. This is a problem with acer power management utility. Stopping this service would fix your your problem. Or Try Resetting Power Options to its defaults.
