Acer aspire 6935g problem.

Hey

Ive just received an acer laptop to fix for a friend, but i cant figure out whats up with it,

BAsically when you power on the laptop, the blue light comes on, i can hear the hdd, the fan and the cd drive all powering up, but nothin comes onto the screen, doesnt even show the bios page up

i tried booting from a cd, i could hear the drive working but nothing came up on the screen,

Is the screen dead? or does anyone have any suggestions on how i could fix this?

Cheers

Keal

 

Sound like something got lose. Try to remove the memory and put it back.

 

So assuming nothing is rattling around, the brightness is turned up etc etc . .

What happens with an external screen connected


The other question is how did this happen and what was being run/done when it failed

If nothing on external screen either; if you let it continue past boot does it continue to have disk activity as if it is going to the login screen (friend has password?) or do you hear the sound of the windows opening chord ?


If it is stuck pre bios then your check list is going to be needing some dismantling work to complete :
? General: water damage, burning smells, termite infestation ?
? defective memory (remove it all and see if you get to the bios complaining)
? Cooling problem on processor (unlikely but check fan is connected)
? Processor fault ? MB fault ? all a repair job realy unless you have spare processors MB's etc in your desk
