> I'm having boot problems wioth my Acre Travelmate 243LC.
> When it was in guarantee I had a similar problem (when I press the

> sometimes it goes into an unending start/stop loop) and I know the

> I'd like to open up the laptop and see if I can solve this myself

> Any instructions on how to open the casing are very welcome - so far I

> (closer to the screen) doesn't. I must be missing something...
