    is nobody else with a 10.1" Acer Aspire one having a problem with the lid causing the screen to go black before the lid is actually closed? I've noticed mine does this until I open close the lid numerous times....kind of like the old potentiometers where you have to rotate the knob many times if it is old and oxidized. You see this on old radios where there's static as you adjust the volume knob until you twist it back and forth many times to remove the oxidized rust. I'm seeing the same thing with the lid on this laptop. Does it employ some type of switch that get oxidized until you open close lid many times? I've noticed after I do that, for days it'll work correctly, and then about a week later I have to do it again. I do not use my laptop outside or in humid conditions and I've very careful with it. But this is annoying.

    I wish I knew how to clean it or something.

    thank you :cry:
