hey 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.

there is a trick to forcing the computer to turn on. I have the same problem as you all and this method has appeared to help others numerous times in the past. firstly, turn on your computer and if you still have the 3 beep problem, leave it on and either place it on a soft surface *a blanket or so* or wrap the computer up in a towel. the main idea is to block the heat vents so that the computer may heat up, leave it for about 30-45 minutes and when its heated, turn it off and leave it for maybe 30 seconds and try to turn it on. sometimes it wont work but keep trying and eventually it will turn on.

Try this trust me it works.

1) Format a USB memory key with the FAT mode.
2) Download the latest version of the BIOS from Acer support website:
* HERE if you have a Aspire One A150
http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_one_150.html
* HERE for the Aspire One A110
http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_one_110.html
3) Extract the files from the zip and put both the FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the memory key.
4) Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD and then remove the disk.
5) Turn the AA1 off, insert the battery and connect the AC adapter.
6) Insert the USB Memory Key into one of the USB port of the Aspire One.
7) Press Fn+Esc, keep it pressed and press the power button to turn the AA1 on.
8) Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds, the power button will be blinking.
9) Press the power button once. The AA1 will start the BIOS flash, do not interrupt for any reason. After some minutes the power button will stop blinking, and then the AA1 will reboot. Wait till the AA1 has completed all this operations.

Tips: Trust me it works...
copy the latest BIOS file...mine works with ver 3114...and...i put my flash disk on the left side USB. first i use the right side but did not work...lol

my laptop is acer the power button is ok but the laptop doesn't open the screen and the cpu stops after a few seconds why i dont know plz if you know the answer say me thank you very much.i will stay your answer!.

I have HP dv200, screen does not turn on, wrapped the laptop with 3 blankets, I laid over the laptop and starting making love to blankets wit the laptop, waiting for a netbook to come up

I had the same problem with my HP pavilion dv6000, it didnt show anything on the screen, no sounds or anything, only the power button responded. I found out that my problem was that the computer was already on, you see, earlier i had put it in hibernate and when i got back a 8-10 hours later and turned it on nothing happened. I tried pulling out the battery and unplugging the power supply at the same time, i tried smashing the keyboard, ofc this didnt work very well, and i tried pressing f8 and f10 (not at the same time) alot on startup because someone said it would work. But nothing helped, later on my sister tried turning it on after i had given up and left it for about 3 hours, and it worked for her!
So heres my advices: Dont put an HP in hibernate/sleep mode or whatever because this will eventually mess up any HP, never buy a new graphic card or anything else before you are 100% sure thats your problem, this could save you alot of money, if your computer wont work or isnt good enough or something then dont try fixing wires or anything unless you are sure you know what to do (remember that once you open the computer and peek inside the warranty is gone), and lastly, let a woman have a look, they can fix anything (almost) just by looking on it.

hi i want to ask a queston my laptop screen doesn't works only switches the button and the cpu stops after a few secondz what should i do?.thank you very much.i will wait your answer .If somebody knows please reply me plz thank you.

make sure that the button that shuts off display when u close down screen isnt jammed shut, that may be your problem. they made the laptop, so that when u close down ur screen, itll power off the display, saving u precious battery. make sure the button that goes down, isnt stuck

Dear all
as far as acer aspire one is concern in this laptop only bios got currupt so need to flash it at acer site u can find the solution, please do not make any other try on this laptop only flash your bios by putting usb flash memory stick after copying the said file from http://www.support.acer.com/drivers_download.aspx ensure flash with correct model number.

2nd and most critical problem is with v6**** and v3**** sereis of compaq if black screen appear in most cases GPU (Nvidia chip called BGA(Balled Grid aray) got cracked and its to be reworked /replaced this is the only solution no heat to be given, by this act your laptop will be ok for 1 to 2 months time and agin same problem you will face, might be you will pay lesser for this but again u need to pay so find such place who do proper Bga rework.

Be aware about nehru place some people claim that they have the experty to do bga rework even they not have proper equipments for this, this job has done with the costly machines, so check first that the person is claiming have a good setup for this.

Hi I'll say it again, I sent my computer in to HP, They said it had a defect and it was under warrenty, the only problem is Im pretty sure that deal expired. Id call HP to find out if your covered, but if your having the same problem Im having, your buttons not fixed, and unless you want to replace the mother board yourself (O thats what they ended up doing, replacing the whole motherboard) I'd Call HP.
