I need help.
My predator 300 is stuck on the predator sign booting up.
And when you switch it off forcefully enough time it goes to automatic repair thing
I know this is where I can get stuff done. But here's the catch there is just a cursor no ***** advanced options to click on and do something about it. Basically stuck on a giaaant loop

There can be many reasons for booting to a black screen. Was there any windows update that was automatically installed on your device before this issue?
Disconnect the charger, please check for a battery reset PIN hole at the bottom of the device. The reset hole would have a battery symbol next to it. Insert a paperclip into the hole and press for four seconds. It simulates removing and reinstalling the battery.
If you do not have Windows 10 recovery disc, you may boot the computer from it and then perform an Automatic Repair of Windows.

Well the battery removal didn't really help at all. There are no changes after it. Stuck on the predator screen still I doubt it's even initiating a boot up.Sharanji said:SeanK

After switching off an on enough times it takes me to automatic repair but that just gets me to a black screen which flashes a window for just a second and then leaves me with just a cursor. So yeah.0 -
And yeah no new windows installation since about 30 days or so.0

Do you have access to another computer and a USB drive? It sounds like your Windows installation is corrupted and you will need to use some type of recovery media to get it working again.SeanK said:This all that's left after automatic repair no options just this.
You can use Windows Media Creation Tool to create the media. and boot up using the media and do a full system repair. If that doesn't work, you will likely need to contact Acer Support. You could reinstall Windows, but then it can break some Acer programs such as Predator Sense.

Thank you for your response. I concluded the same and will be trying this method out tomorrow I just wanted to be sure it isn't a minor bug due to a rogue function.Skelomorph said:

I'm pretty sure the windows has corrupted
For a gaming laptop I'm surprised a minor game gave it this hard a time.

A gaming laptop is still just a 'laptop'. Only difference is the parts are more powerful (Basically more power consuming in the end). I just hope, for your sake, that repairing will work and the drive is not failing on you.SeanK said:

Did you try Alt+F10 for the Acer Recovery drive (not that I think it will even work, honestly).

As in the picture I provided alt+f10 and automatic repair just gives me a black screenshot with a cursor.Skelomorph said:
