I am not sure what the problem is, but its when i turn the laptop on it doesnt work.
the only thing that works is the power light it goes on and then thats it, the light stays on, but the monitor and laptop do not do anything. the monitor stays plain black and thats it. i tried taking out the battery, and putting it back in, but it didnt do anything.

yes...mine is doing exactly the same thing (actually it's not mine - i'm borrowing it from a friend!)
The laptop turns on fine (power light, battery charge light and fan are on) but nothing on the screen.
I've tried discharging and recharging the battery, removing everything including hard drive, dvd drive, battery and additional memory but it's just been the same.
Help!

Inspiron 1150 PC... Problem
is valid for all Acer PC Laptops
If it comes on and stays on, you problem is the notorius power jack cold solder issue. The jack will have to be repaired. Either by DELL or a qualified expert that has done a number of these.
It is not a easy task by any means. A skilled ELECTRONICS TECHNICAN could do it. But not a Computer Technician, because they generally just replace parts and do not do component level repairs

Yes, I am facing the same problem with My Acer 5002 WLMi.
When powered on, only the power ON LED comes on, the sreen is completely blank (black).
I can hear some sound, look like it is from HDD.
Before the screen became blank, I got a vertical white band in the middle of the screen for 30 seconnds. I recall few weeks back, the acreen had some funny characters blinking in black and white.That problem went away when I re-booted.
