It sounds like just a loose connection somewhere David, but what do I know..  ;D

Glad it's working. :thumb:

I'm disappointed by the PC World response time, David. Maybe you should be mentioning the Sale of Goods Act to them?

Just returned from PC World and been givena different phone number,apparently it will be collected by courier and returned when fixed.

AS there is no seal and as a tap on the top seems to put everything right I will have the back off and check,it has to be a loose connection...so before I let them loose on it.....,.I will try.

Worst ways it goes back best ways  I will save myself a time without  my PC got to be worth a punt :fingers:

Looking can do no harm, David, and if you find something loose, a gentle push will soon establish if that was the problem.

It sounds almost certain that it is just a loose component David, I would do as Rik suggests. ;)

Be sure to earth yourself first David, I just put my hand on the computer case and the cold tap first just to discharge any static.

Well after all that and sending a broadside yesterday to PC world the Acer was collected first thing this morning...last night do you think I could get the thing to break down...no no matter what I did it carried on regardless..,so I have listed the faults on it and hope they can test it.The guy on the phone yesterday took all the details but I told him anyway...what I did discover when I shook it gently,there is a screw or something metalic rattling around inside the case,and on inspection the AV in and the airial socket are at an angle ?

Im now hoping it wont be too long before its is back and also they give it a good check over?I assume they can test cards and connections etc......is there a tester which would indentify a fault..or would the machine need to play up when they switch on ?

There are some tests that they can run, David, but I suspect it simply needs a good visual inspection and some firm prodding of connections.
