ainebrady Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Hello, I got a new laptop(Acer Aspire V5-531) for christmas, it's now February. The first few days I had the laptop, if I was working on the laptop & I had it charging at the screen goes into a screensaver like state, when I moved the courser the screen lit up again as it would if it had been on screensaver, but dies again to the screensaver mode. It hadn't happened for a few weeks but now it has started happening again? Does anyone know what is wrong with it or should I take it back into the store before worse happens? I love my laptop, please help. :( Quote
Plastic Nev Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Hi, do you know what time is set before the screen saver comes on? To find out, right click an empty part of the screen, choose "Personalise", then on the page that opens, on the bottom right is "Screen saver" click on that and the settings box should open. You can change the time it takes before going to screen saver here, as an example mine is set for ten minutes. You may find yours is now at 1 or may even be lower, though my system won't go lower than one minute. Check that first and let us know what you find. Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems?
