Thanks for sharing.But Alot of Acer laptops have issues with their hardware and bios.Which causes the laptop not to boot up.It has nothing to do with the hard drives.In your case the issue was only with your hard drive.But taking out the hard drive and booting into the bios should be the first thing anyone does to troubleshoot a problem like this

Hello to all.

 

i have the same laptop and the same problem.

 

Acer 5552G .

 

I had no heat problems due to cooling station.

 

Now to get to the problem.

 

The laptop is powering on,the light that is working is starting up,the fan starts to spin and then after 5 sec. it goes to idle.

I don't have any kind of showing on the screen not even a slight light that i would know that is open.

 

I tried external monitor,without any "showing".

 

I downloaded the new bios : 2.14

 

I extracted into the desktop the folders.

I took the entire folder of the "dos" that had inside the .fd files and the fala**bleep** ,i tried to open it with FN+ESC ,then put the jack and then as holding the buttons power it on.

Nothing showed up in the externat.

 

After i tried with the .fd file alone the same thing,nothing happened.

 

After i tried with the .fd renamed to BIOS.FD no solution again.

 

I see and hear that the hard drive spins the fan also and so on.

 

I tried without the RAM/HDD nothing again.

 

What am i doing it wrong;

 

i made also 1 clear CMOS with Jumber.

I managed to solve the problem.
1) realized download the latest bios version on the manufacturer's Web site on another computer and put the file on a flash drive.
2) Then I restarted the computer and boot made by Hirens CD, Mini windows.
3) Insert the flash drive and ran the file.
4) awaited update the bios.
5) I rebooted the notebook
Thus corrected my problem.
