Acer Aspire one

I noticed LCD flickering on lowest brightness setting when using the Hitachi hdd and running on battery. No such issues noted with the Seagate hdd.

Noticed slight flickering with the WD too. But then, I don't really tone down the brightness to lowest, so doesnt affect me much. More of a hardware issue than a software issue.

It's a known hardware issue. He's talking about the internal HDD. There's a total of 3 HDD manufacturers for the AAO; Toshiba, Seagate and WD. Seagate unaffected, Toshiba affected to a small extent, WD worst.

Nice laptop skin.

How much did you get it for?

 

[Zack88]

from far it look nice... but when u take a close look... the warping is not that good... so i take out mine and recut it...

 

[Zack88]

I DIY this myself... buy the skin but cut the pic out... dun want the back ground

this is wat i end up doing

mine also like that But too lazy to go down acer to resolve. How do they resolve the issue? Change a hdd?

"touch up already. haha but i noob. so not very nice. anyway, now i don understand y i take so much trouble to get a brown one and stick it all up."

maybe cos you werent planning on skinning when you decided for the brown one~
*dont worry~ its very nice looking~ with or without the skin~

 

[Crazy85]

oh ya hor, u nv say i also nv realise. haha no choice i guess. if i gonna cut a hole there, its going to be damn ugly.

looks good without the led too. can u do it on my aspire as well?

 

[iProBB]

business opportunity lai liao~
soon will have many orders~ haha~

 

[Crazy85]

haha no la. will not be treating this as business. even if i really agree to help, i also don think i will charge.

haha. then i will be 1st in the list since i start this crap

 

[iProBB]

there must be at least 1 shop in simlim that is dedicated to skinning ONLY~
i am sure they do provide printing of personal designs for a fee... then apply the skin for us~ gonna go simlim tmr~

 

[Crazy85]

huh but i guess its best tht u let other pros do it. i scare i wont be able to do a good job for u.

joking joking, dont worry but u got a nice job done on your AA1. So intend to cut hole for the led?

After u peel off, did the colour fade or what? I might be getting the transparent protective film as well.

eh nope, the colour still very good
only had a little bit of stain, like dust stick by the side of the sticker on the cover
but i wipe it off with cloth then looks perfect le
