Hi all. I'm hoping to get some help with my laptop. I've come home from work, tried to turn my laptop on but it won't move past the "Acer explore beyond limits" screen. It doesn't even have the little loading circle. My laptop was working fine this morning so I'm not sure what's brought this on. I've tried holding shift f8, f8, shift f10 but nothing is loading up a safe mode or repair mode. I've held the power button down for 30 seconds but that hasn't done anything when starting it up again either. I'm not sure if I should leave it on the logo screen until it runs out of battery or to hold it down for 30 seconds again and try again in the morning. My model is aspire f 15, please help!!

Hi Millyj,

It seems like your laptop has blocked loading on the manufacturer’s logo. I presume you cannot get to BIOS screen, right? In that case you may need to use a factory restore button combination. Please check your laptop’s manual for more information. When it comes to Acer laptop, usually you should hold the 0 button while pressing the power button to turn on the PC. Release the 0 button when you hear beeping noises. Please have in mind that using a factory reset will affect the data stored on the hard drive. Do you have valuable data in the laptop?
If you do, you may need to seek a way to back it up. The best solution may be to disconnect the hard drive and connect it in a desktop PC as a secondary storage drive. If your laptop is under warranty, you should contact the seller before opening the back of the laptop.

Hope this helps

Sorry about that, the factory reset button combination may be different, depending on the PC model. Do you get that message right after you press the F10 button or after you try to perform factory reset? Please open the BIOS menu and check if the hard drive is correctly recognized. Do you have system restore disks? If you do not have those, you may need to use a Windows installation drive in order to boot from it and reinstall your operational system. In any case, the hard drive should be correctly recognized in BIOS and if it is not, there may be a hardware or a connectivity issue.

Hello,

I turned my computer on one day after a few months of non usage and it came on to the logg in screen perfectly. Then I realised I hadnt plugged the keyboard or the mouse in, so I turned it off an plugged them in. It turned on and went to the acer screen and says press f12 to the setup page. So I waited for it to go on but it stayed there for hours. So I thought then ill press f12 but the keyboard wasnt working. There isn't anything wrong with the keyboard its just sometimes my computer dosent like it. I tried using many diffrent ways but nothing seems to work. I took everything out and just left the main and the screen in and it worked perfectly its only if the keyboard...
