Hi I have an Acer Aspire 4752. As i press the power button it makes 4 successive clunking sounds followed by one long clunking sound..      

The problem started, my frientd took the laptop, as per him, he watche the movies and inserted old DVD. after insertion of few DVDs the pc freezed. so he directly pressed the power button directly.

Here's what happened. When I power on the laptop, the boot screen shows up with logo and shows the line press <F2> to enter the setup, with the progress bar below, moves up to 75%. When I press F2 or F12, is says waiting.... But the progress bar doesn't go 100%. I tried waiting up to about 30 minutes but there's no luck, the system won't let mo go to setup bios or boot menu. I tried removing the hard disk ang booting it but the same problem occurs.

i tried to flash the drive as per some tutorial in youtube but i didn't know which file to rename as the file i downloaded was different from what they showed in videos.


Can you suggest me anything I can do?


By the way here is my system specs:
Intel Corei3-235M
Intel HD graphics3000
2 GB DDR3 memory
 500GB HDD.
DVD drive.


Thank you for helping me ou

    Hello basha1,

     

    1. Have you tried to start your laptop with only one memory stick?
    2. What's your bios setup utility (apparently, it's Phoenix secure core tiano setup)?

    Hello basha1,

     

    If I well understood, your laptop stays on Acer screen and you can't enter in the setup utility or in the boot manager.

     

    On your Acer support website, you'll find the bios of your laptop. Download as far as possible the same version. In the zipped file, you have DOS folder. Format a USB flash drive to FAT or FAT32, copy all files contained in the DOS folder and follow this procedure (autor: Chigers - second reply). You have the same bios setup utility: Phoenix secure core tiano.

    Hello,

     

    After have connected the USB flash drive, press and hold [Fn]+[Esc] and press the power button (and not [Alt]+[Esc] as described in the procedure).
