    Hello guys.
    I have quite a mojor problem with my Acer 5103, last night i was on it, and it jammed, the mouse would not move when i tried to open internet, so i held the off button and then started it up again.
    So it started up, but now when i try to start it up, i just get a black screen.
    It must be starting the BIOS, because the fan slows down speed like normal, after about 2 seconds. I can also hear the harddrive spinning.
    I let it sleep for the night, without touching it, and pressed the on button today, it gave me the ACER screen when you first turn it on, but after that i just got a bunch of green lines coming down the screen. And now it's gone back to usual again, just giving me a black screen.
    I was thinking i'd take it to the computer shop down the road, but i'd give a go asking you guys first.

    Thank-you.
    Harjun
