2 Solutions Possible.
The connection between the LCD Screen to the motherboard is not connected well and is causing the issues you are having.
OR.
The screen itself needs to be replaced because it defective.

it looks like LCD inverter(fluerasan) broke down.

You could have a defective screen - a defective inverter or a CCFL lamp.
To determine if you have a LCD screen or video card problem, read this and follow the instructions.

Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom:

• Screen flashs on red/pink and off.
• Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal.
• Picture flickering with dim display.
• Picture flickering on and off.

All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp

Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight.

Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

Hello, I Will try to help you with the best of my ability....


What I can do for you is to give you the manual online...

Here is the Link. http://www.devicemanuals.com/guide/Mobile/Acer/Acer-TravelMate-4220-2480-User%27s-Guide-TVRRNE9UYz.html

The same thing happened on my HP. I ended up buying a LCD screen off ebay. That corrected the problem. New screens cost $150+. You can get one off ebay for half the price.

Could be the screen is running with the wrong colour depth and resolution - reset the settings by right clicking on the screen selecting properties and then adjust on the settings tab.

you are losing video from the motherboard..could be the video chip, yet this sort of thing can happen with laptops.

how much free space left on hard drive? also check virtual memory settings and finally run scandisk and defrag on hard drive.

This set has had a problem with the LVDS cable from the Main PCB to the panel. The wires are delicate and the connection is not that great. Sometimes unplugging and reseating the cable does clear intermitent problems like yours up. Good Luck
