    Hi,

    I have an Acer 6930G which recently fallen of my hand while carrying it, the results are a broken screen some light cracks in the casing

    however, the laptop now doesn't want to run :eek:

    When I connect the AC adapter, the blue light turns on, however when I click the button to start the laptop, The laptop starts for one second then the light turns off

    I tried with the battery instead of the AC adapter and got the same results

    I did take off the wireless card, replace RAM sticks, Replaced HDD and stills the same

    Even the fan won't spin :(

    If anybody have a solution please enlighten me, thanks in advance

    It might be the motherboard then :(, and if the motherboard has taken damage, you have to buy a new laptop :(

    If you have warranty, send it in and figure out what is damaged. Most likely if the motherboard has to replaced and you have to pay for it, you might as well get a new laptop. If there is any data on your hard drive, get an external enclosure and connect it to another computer to retrieve the data (hopefully hard drive is still intact).

    If it's not booting, and you can't even get to the BIOS, then chances are the motherboard is damaged. In that case, you'll probably be better off getting a new laptop, unless Acer can replace the motherboard for cheaper than the price of a new laptop.

    Well, the motherboard didn't take any physical damage

    The warranty won't cover physical damage

    Anybody have other ideas?

    How do you know that the motherboard isn't broken though?
