I could not enter the BIOS menu. When I press F2 to enter the menu, it just says "Entering SETUP" but then nothing else happens. I pressed F2 even before the ACER logo appeared. When I wait at the ACER screen without pressing F2 nothing happens either. Vino

Okay I noticed something: The laptop monitor does turn on. But only if I plug a HDMI cable into its HDMI port. The other end of the cable must not even be connected to any other device. As long as there is something in the HDMI port, the laptops screen turns on. But there is still the problem, that it freezes during…

That might not be the case, because I replaced it with a new one I bought only a few weeks ago Vino

I connected it to my external monitor and turned it on. To my surprise both the laptop and the external monitor now showed an image. The Acer bootup screen (still frozen) but when I turned it off again after nothing happening it did not show any image any more whatsoever. Neither on the monitor or the laptop. Using the FN…

Hello. I reseated all the connectors aside from the AMIC1 because I couldn't remove it but still the screen won't turn on. Vino

So I am currently re-seating all the connectors and I noticed there is no cable that connects with BT1. I also found that USBCN1 was not correctly seated. This may possibly the reason, why the USB ports on the right side of the device did not or only sometimes worked. But how do I losen the cable on the LCD1 connector? It…

I am referring to the green board, that detects, when u push the power button. When I pushed the button te machine didn't turn on. This board was loose so I had to screw it back again so that the power button can reach it. After doing that the machine turned on again but the screen was showing no image. Vino

The boot screen disappeared after disassembling the machine to screw the detector thing to the power button after it had been fallen off. The screen produces no light at all. Seems like the screen is dead. Vino

It did blink 4 times total in the span of 4 seconds. I locked the laptop in the attic because I thought that I'd never use it again after obtaining my new computer. That is why I left it there. Now I got the laptop back because I might need it in a few years when I don't have access to my computer. Before locking it there,…

I removed the other two files and kept only JE70126.FD, inserted it into the machine and did the FN + ESC thing. the activity light flashed once but nothing else happened. The screen is still black. Vino

On the stick there are the files 'JE70126.WPH' , 'minidos.sys' and 'phlash16.exe' . I was told that these three files should belong onto the stick. Vino

It does show MBR as partition style. But despite all that (and I checked the files on the stick again and renewed then) still nothing is happening on the screen. It is still black. I don't think I can ever get this machine running again and I don't know what to do. I am not an expert. Should I give up trying or is there…

I am sorry but what exactly is mbr and how do I get it? The stick is already formatted in fat32. Vino

I renamed the file. But still the same result: The USB drive blinks once then nothing. With the USB drive removed it is still a black screen. Vino

What should I have? I do not understand what you mean. Should I rename the file "xxxxxxxx.fd" now? Or something else instead of the xxx's? If yes, where do I find it? Vino

What does XXXXXXX.FD mean? What does it do? Does it help? Vino

I renamed and tried it again. This time the activity light only blinked once. Then it stopped. The screen is still black. Vino

I followed your steps correctly. The activity light blinked a few times. Then it stopped. Still black screen. Then I removed the pendrive and tried booting the machine. But still a black screen. Maybe it has something to do with the screen itself? It may be broken. Vino

Hello! I finally got my hands on a USB Pendrive with an activity light. I am about to copy the files to the stick. With "bigger EXE file", do you mean by file size or do you mean the letters (.EXE or .exe)? Could you please also provide me the link to the minidos.zip file? Vino

I am afraid I do not own an USB pen drive with an activity light. It seems like I have to get one if I want to proceed. I will answer when I got one. Vino
