Hello, I need help. my acer laptop. It wont boot up. I tried the reset (HOLD POWER BTTTON FOR 30 SEC w/ NO BATT AND NO POWER) for hours. it still wont turn on. when its plugged in, the battery led light turns on. I press the ON button, the num lock light blinks once, the cd/dvd/drive lights up and the fan starts. HOWEVER I hear a clicking sound.. My Laptop wont turn on!. whats wrong? JA..... : (
If you really followed the power drain procedure to the letter, I can't see anything else because the fan is running, you are not getting any hardware, HD error messages. It looks to me as if it's booting. Even a virus would not give you a blackscreen.
You may try one last power drain procedure:
1. Remove the ram sticks (Clean with a soft lint free cloth while they are out)
2. Remove the power cord and battery
3. Hold the power button for 58 seconds
4. Replace everything.
Sorry again, for I know how frustrating it can be.
This worked. I unplgged the cord, took out the battery, and cleaned the ram sticks, and YAHOOO. Thanks, I was just seconds away from tossing my most favorite laptop in the trash.

Thank you so much!!!!!! All the IT people I took my laptop to said it was the motherboard. And you proved them wrong. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!!!!
hold the on button for some time, power on light, battery light and hard disk light lit for awhile and went off. It repeat for few times and when off, that the symptom I got.

Neat trick. I thought my 08 acer had really died (this time) but this process brought it back to life.
Thanks
