| 8 lazer_knight, on May 17, 2009 8:45:01 am BSTHey there i work for acer.
the problem with the aspire one powering on but not displaying is due to the bios being corrupt. You will not believe how many have come back with this problem. To fix this run the crisis disk.
The files should be on the disk you got with the machine. You have to put these two files on the root of a bootable flash stick. press and hold "fn" and "esc" then power on machine with the flash stick in and dont take your hands of Fn and esc untill the power light and flash stick lights are flashing. this will take about a minute. then boot up. To stop this happening again update to the latest bios version 3309. any problems email me.

| 21 HelpMe, on Jul 7, 2009 5:26:41 pm BSTOk so my comp started shutting off after about 10 mins a few months back then id turn it on and itd shut off without loading, i brought it to best buy and they said it was the motherboard so i bought a new motherboard hooked everything up and now when i turn the comp on it stays on but the screen is blank. any ideas as to what the problem is? its not the vid cards, ram, motherboard, or harddrive, since i used diff ones and the comp still had the same problem...is it possible that i have a bad processor? what else could cause this other than the power supply and cpu? thanks Reply to HelpMe |

| 32 Jimtbird, on Aug 12, 2009 4:02:40 am BSTHello,
My wife's Aspire one will not power up. When I push the power button, the power button lights for a split second, I hear the hard drive engage for a split second, then shuts down. I tried to flask the bios, but the power will not stay on long enough to flash the bios.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,

| 35 edwin b, on Aug 15, 2009 9:08:21 pm BSTHi lazer_knight,
You responded to this post: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-49172-screen-doesn-t-display. Is your response good for only acer machines or does it work for a Compaq Presario C700 laptop? My problem is very similar to the one post by Victorious Victim:
"I used to have the same problem with my Compaq Presario C700 laptop. Every time i tried to turn on my laptop the fan would start for a few seconds then shut down but my "on" light is still lit up. Also the wireless connection was lit up but was on the "unconnected" colour. The only way i could turn it off was to hold on the power button for a few seconds.
All i did to fix it was take the battery out and plug out the charger. Then wait a few minutes and put the battery back in and turn it on. Mine worked perfectly. Maybe it was something wrong with the connection between the laptop and battery."
BUT this solution did not work. If your solution will work for me, how do I know which two files to use from the crisis disk and will it work from a portable hard-drive instead of a flash stick?
Thanks for your help,
