Hello,

Anyone have an idea on what causes my Acer Aspire One ZG5 model with 4GB SSD hard drive and Linpus Lite to show repeated 99 numbers all the way the half part of the screen, then will try to just to boot to PXE which fails because it is not really set up that way. Tried creating a restore image using USB flash drive, but same thing happens when trying to boot from it. Hope you can advise me with this one. Thanks!

Hi,

You should proceed with the recovery in this situation but this does not boot from usb flash drive ,a usb cd/dvd drive will work .You definitely need the recovery cd,since you cannot boot the system you cannot even create it,What you can try is to boot system from another windows installation cd and make a system repair ,hope it work for you then create the recovery cd by it,here are the instructions for creating it as well as make system repair:

I did try to disassemble my laptop and i noticed that when i turned on the laptop the fan will work only for 5 - 6 secs. and it will stop.

Hi,

You mean after the 5 -6 seconds its all off?as its already been opened them remove the mass of dust from the cooler fan and add new thermal paste on processor ,note down all the parts and screws you are disassembling so that you do not get confused when putting them back.

Thanks
