FallowEarth Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hey all...ok so I have an Acer laptop...the thing is designed poorly and has overheated very easily since i got it...so I removed the cover and cleaned it out with air to help with the circulation (which I have done once before)....now it won't boot up I can hear the hard drive start...everything is seated properly....but there is no display....i'm wondering what i might have done, and how i can fix it....i'm sure I can find the cd, but i'm thinking something hardware....any suggestions would be muchly appreciated, thx!

FallowEarth Posted May 14, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 yeah thanks peeps...i will try the external monitor, i think my roomate's might work....it seems that the backlight on the monitor is not coming on, and i can hear the HD spinning but it doesn't seem to be making any thinking noises ( )....i think it has an 8MB ATI laptop video card, i'm not sure if its PCI or integrated....i'll check it out and get back to y'all...thx for the responses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest helloimtim Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 You may want to open it back up and take a look at your connections. Make sure everything is pluged in and in its place. It may be something simple. Loose wire. Something came unpluged. Just an idea....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
