Hello, i have a G9-592 predator and after reset and installing drivers i restarted it. Now the screen stays black but the startup sound still plays.

-i tried connecting it to a monitor and that stays black too
-i tried pressing f2-f9-f10 enter with no success
-i tried holding the power button, even opened it up and unplugged the battery


Now i read some posts and i see some other laptops have had this problem too and it was fixed by installing new bios, which isn t available for download for my laptop

  • Can you access the uefi? Or does the black screen occur after the Acer logo?

  • What happens when you press fn + f6? Does the problem occur when you use the notebook only on the battery?

    Nothing, happens same for fn f5 the other functions like disabling the 
    Touchpad and turning keyboard lights off work
  • You hear the sound work, right? That means windows is probably booting! Although you do not see windows startup, wait for some time to make sure windows is loaded! Then keep pressing the shift key constantly and then press the power key so that in this way, windows will shut down properly, but with fast startup disabled and testing!

    Nope, doesn t seem to do anything, at this point i should mention that out of the 5 macro keys nr 4 stays lit all the time, and nr 5 doesn t light up at all

  • This has a solution, which is not ideal, but for some reason works, see: https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/539769/acer-predator-g9-592-black-screen-when-starting-laptop

    Dunno  if you already did this but try to remove the acpi drivers completely shutdown disconnect from AC perform a battery powerdrain press/hold battery pinhole for 30s let the laptop rest for 2/3h boot into bios reset bios defaults then on windows let it install acpi drivers again see if the battery starts charging if not you might want to get the windows battery report and check if your battery is faulty which can also be possible
