#1 Asus eeepc messed up screen issue!
Posted: Fri Oct 29, 2010 7:28 pm
So I bought this cute li'l tablet netbook, and I like it in general.
However!
Every now and then, sometimes when it's plugged in, sometimes not, and sometimes apparently caused by the power change, this happens:
It freezes and the screen appears to go blank, except filled with various color lines. Keyboard input accomplishes nothing, touchpad and touchscreen have no effect. At least the power button works? Once it reboots, it seems fine.
This occurs at seemingly random times, sometimes when I'm not even touching it. It's not terribly frequent, I want to say 4-5 times in the past week, being on ~6 hours a weekday or so?
Any ideas how to fix it or what causes it so I can at least avoid it?
