hi,

im having a problem, my e5-571 will not boot. i turn it on, the light turns on aswell, and i can clrealy hear the fan starting to work. but all i get is a black screen. no boot screen no logo no nothing.

i tried taking out the RAM and back in, doing the whole f2, f8, f10, f12 thing, but nothing.

i read an article that say a bios recovery will solve the problem.

i tried doing it using a usb stick and bios files from the support site, but nothing happened. it seems that it havnt started a recovery.

i have no idea how to fix this problem and i would be happy to get your help!

thanks!!

    1. For how long have you been using your machine?

     

    2. When did you start seeing the black screen?

     

    3. Have you tried repairing before all by yourself?

     

    4. Has anybody tried to open up your machine before?

     

    From what I see, it's a hardware problem.

    Pls answer the above questions

    I have it for 2 years, it happened a month ago.
    By saying "tried to repair", what do you mean?
    And i open it to see if anything got disconnected some how
    Thanks

    The reasons why I asked you all those questions means that something isn't fixed well

     

    Check your hard disk. Remove it and replace it well

     

    Also the CMOS battery can cause that.

     

    Anything that you're pretty sure you had touched internally, pls go back

    And amend changes

     

    If all these aren't working then pls pay attention to your monitor

    Thanks

    No one open the computer before the issue appeared. I open it and checked the hard driver and ram.
    After that the monitor worked for 5 minutes and then crashed.
    It happened twice.

    At this point you need a novice to assist you physically.

     

    Once there's a total black screen and nothing appear, it shows that

    Your monitor is at stake.

     

    But I'm sure you need a replacement either new one or home used.

    Hey Shimivak, with great positive hopes i would begin here, hoping that by now you've overcome your prolonged issue, however if you still haven't i won't really suggest you to deal with it only to make situation go more messed up. your situation seems familiar as i was stuck by the same boot issue... i read many articles and nothing really happened to sooth things as i am no geek. Hence after dailing many number to cure my lappy i zeroed down to this  toll-free helpline no. of Microsoft U.S tech support

    Do you remember what they did? It would be easier considering the fact that I am not from the US
    Thanks for your comment

    Same problem here. I've disassembled everything, checked all ribbons, checked HD, replaced the RAM cards - nothing works. I downloaded a bios update from ACER support but they're all .exe  - but tried Fn/Esc to power and HD is running with the USB attached but still nothing happens, (after I wait for 7 minutes).
