why is my Acer Aspire 5732Z screen blank

AlisonJulieSmth

I have an Acer Aspire 5732Z laptop, bought in 2010, which has worked well until a last week.

 

When I power on the laptop, lights come on on the laptop & keyboard, on one occasion 'Acer' flashed up on the screen but on all other attempts the screen just turns dark blue and nothing else happens.

 

Any ideas on what could cause this?

 

And any ideas how I could get the laptop looked at/fixed affordably.

 

Thanks

Your laptop is way out of warranty.

 

First thing. Hold down the alt and the F-10 key and push the power button (have someone push it or use a pencil in your mouth) and don't let go of the Alt and F-10 until Recovery starts or it's obvious nothing is happening.
