    I have an Acer Ferrari 3400 that when I try to power up all that happens is the fan spins and the power light flashed alternately green and yellow. Nothing else happens, the screen doesn't light and if you attach a seperate screen nothing is desplayed, you can power it off and on again but it just does the same thing.

    I've tried removing the DVD, battery, all ram and other cards like Wireless LAN and even tried to reset it by remving the CMOS Battery.

    Any Help would be gratefully appreciated.

    I have a feeling your mobo might be fried... While I don't know about this happening on laptops, the same thing happened to my desktop, and well... RIP
