    I've had my machine for just over a year. Typically just out of guarantee the screen has started to flicker and logging in can be a problem as it freezes and I can't see or move the mouse. A black banner of varying size also appears from the bottom of the screen. I can still type, but cannot see until it disappears. Moving the screen back or forth seems to help memntarily, but not for long. Anybody know how to fix this as Acer don't seem to be very helpful. Thanks

    Which model AAO do you have? Is it an SSD or HDD model?

    Does tilting the screen make a difference? (could be a problem with the connection / cable)

    Has the machine been jarred or bumped?
