Finally I can vent my frustrations somewhere.... My name says it all... yet maybe I will change my name.... I hope so.
I purchased my Aspire One D270-137 on eBay before Christmas 2012. I am a bit of a saver so I did not take it out of the box until August of 2013. I booted it up and used it to pay some bills while on a boat trip. Since I have other computers I intended to use the D270 for travel and bill pay.
I have run into these issues a few times and my concern is that they will get worse rather than better. The Windows 7 Starter has been updated with all windows updates
1: When I hibernate my netbook and then wake it about 20% of the bottom of the screen appears to be in "white out mode" meaning I can not see anything and the curser will disapear when I move it into the "White out zone"
2: If I leave the netbook unplugged and allow the machine to self sleep/hibernate when I turn it back on I do not experience the "white out zone"
3: Early in the discovery period I experienced the black screen of death WITH curser. When I walked away and allowed the netbook to self hibernate the screen came back to log in.
My question ares: Does this sound like a bios issue? Has anyone experienced these issues? What might the remedy be?
Comments: I am here because since this netbook is out of warranty (apparently the warranty starts when the last screws are inserted into the product)
i.e. Acer tells me warranty expired 9/23/13 and I recieved it Dec 2012.
I could not for the life of me find anywhere (aside from here) that I could ask simple questions.....
I have installed Chrome, Avast and removed McAffe and that is the extent of changes to the netbook....(all issues were present before and after modifications were performed, I could avoid using hibernate/sleep and always shutdown via menu and if that is the case....it will be the final acer purchase I make.
Hope I get to change my name/handle Cheers
