the display sometimes flickers and flashes when booting up, but if I move the display around it goes okay. How do I get to the cables to check they are okay?
Found a site (http://www.7manuals.com/) where for just over £3 UK ($5.99 USD) you can get a PB EasyNote F5, F7 Disassembly Manual. This has all the information I needed and after re-seating the cable on the rear of the display all is well. Took about half an hour. Hope this is of some use to someone else.
