Glad I am not the only one. I also have an Acer Aspire 1690 that is doing the same thing. It started going blank but would restart and work for a few hours, then it would turn on like normal and after 5 minutes go blank while everything remains on. Now I can't even get the ACER welcome screen or th...

Ok, finally I was able to get hold of a friend who is a PC hardware master. He disassembled my Acer laptop and tested motherboard chips with a voltmeter. As a result he already found one dead diode and replaced it. However this didn't solve the problem and he went into further testing. He thinks the...

Hi All, I'll be keeping my eye on this thread because my rather new Acer Aspire 1690 notebook has just succumbed to *exactly* the same fate as alex's and Intro's. The Acer website lists a sequence to test for PS issues, and that sequence indicated negative in my case. Reseating ram, HD, wireless ca...

Before you say it's the mother board, there are other possibilities. You say only the fan is running. If you are sure of that, then why isn't the power supply sending juice to the HD? Since I haven't done any hardware work on laptops, does the HD get it's power directly from the power supply like a...

Hi, I need my Laptop to be cleaned. The screen is dirty and it disturbs me while watching movies. However, I am scared of scratching, damaging or braking my beatiful screen. I've got a Sony Vaio N11H. I've tried Googling and the only answer I came up with was, "Don't use paper towels, and mix ...

I would connect another monitor to it. That way you can confirm or deny if the broken hinge disrupted the connection. If it still doesn't boot, then you know that it's a power problem.

Purchased brand new back in Dec. 2004 from Amazon. Started using since summer 2004. It had 1 year warranty which is of course expired. I damn the da...
