Monitor Problem My screen seems to have stretched. I've got an Acer Aspire 5002WLMi. It used to give a regular, non-skewed display, but at the current resolution, the picture has been stretched length-wise and at other higher resolutions, the screen scrolls. I'm tired of looking at stretched pictures!

Have you tried the Aspire website for these drivers? https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/group/laptops
Acer bought Aspire, good luck.

Try right click on the desktop and choose display or personalize, or a call close to do the display settings.

your display driver may be corrupted....try to update the driver from the Cd that came with your machine...

Not bad...Drivers, Install Manual, 160GB Hard Drive, and New

You first should check to make sure it's the LCD and not the video/motherboard. However possible, hook the laptop up to an external monitor (flat panel or CRT, either one will work). If the problem doesn't present on the external monitor, you have a bad LCD.

If the problem persists even on the external, you have a video/motherboard problem. Since most laptops have integrated video, the motherboard will most likely be your culprit.

Hope this helps :)

there is a monitor brightness that is usually a combination of Fn(lower left of keyboard) and F5..try that to see it it raises the level

use 1440 x 990 resolution, the ratio of the monitor is 16:10

mine just did this, sad story, your hard drive went out.

A really dim display like you're describing is most likely a backlight problem.  If your inverter went bad you wouldn't have any display at all.  you need to get your backlight changed.
