So I got my brand new Acer Aspire 5672 in the mail today, plugged it in, turned it out...and got a blank white screen. I can adjust the brightness, but it doesn't help. I can hear music playing, probably for some Acer program that opens on startup. I plugged an extra monitor I had laying around into the laptop, and the display worked fine on that, I could see the WinXp screen, everything loaded fine, etc. So the problem must be with the display on the laptop...should I try to fix this myself, or just RMA it to Newegg? From what I've read, it sounds like it could just be a loose cord. Any ideas?
Thanks.
