    i have an acer aspire 3690 that i am repairing. if you power it on some green lights come on, for about 10 secs then goes off. the fan also turns on for that 10secs then goes off. i have taken out all removable devices but still no luck. what could be the problem? the processor is heating up, but the lap is not coming on.

    Sounds like a motherboard issue. Mine used to do the same thing and ended up with mobo replaced.
