    When I turn on my Aspire 5520g, the screen remains black and that's it. When this happened on my Aspire One, the problem was in BIOS and the solution was BIOS recovery. Now, for AA1 I found instructions and files needed for recovery on the internet, but not for 5520. So what do I need to do to recover BIOS on Aspire 5520?

    Well I just tried to turn it on again and now it starts, shows the 'acer' logo with the white background and then shows black background with one 'underscore' blinking(it's like a command prompt) and that's where it stays. What now?

    Now it even comes to the Vista loading screen :), but there it suddenly stops and wont go anywhere. Any suggestions now, or should I just wait some more until it will start fully? :D
