My acer travelmate will not boot up, please help

Try another Cord/Charger with the EXACT same power specs. Have you cleaned the fan, vents, heatsink recently? Do you get to any screen? BIOS setup? Boot Menu? Has the AC jack been damaged due to pulling on the cord?

If your computer does not have a hidden partition for OS recovery, a recovery CD will be required in order to recover the Operating System using Acer Recovery Media.
Order the Recovery Media from Acer https://secure.tx.acer.com/RCDB/Main.aspx?brand=acer

1. Restart the computer.
2. When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the F12 key repeatedly to enter the computer's Boot Menu.
3. Press the CD-ROM drive eject button and insert the disc labeled System CD.
4. Close the CD-ROM tray.
5. Refer to on screen instructions to select either CDROM or USB CDROM.
6. The computer will boot from the Acer Recovery Media
7. When prompted for the Recovery CD, remove the System CD and insert the Recovery CD.
   
   Note: If there are multiple Recovery CDs, please insert the first of the Recovery CDs.
   
   
8. After the system recovery application has loaded, follow the prompts to reinstall the Operating System.

Note: if your computer is unable to run the Acer Recovery process, or errors occur during recovery, please contact Acer support.

Reboot with push power button, when acer logo show up click F10.

press either delete or f2 during the boot process to enter the BIOS you can chage your password from there (be careful)
hope this helps

Try this: once you turn on your Acer Laptop, immediately it shows the acer logo on your screen, press 'Esc" button constantly or press the "Esc" button continuously immediately you turn on your laptop.

I am telling you to do this out of experience, but if it does not work, let me know.

Take care.

start computer when acer logo appears press F2 to go into BIOS settings scroll across to BOOT top menu bar with the arrow buttons scroll down to D2D enable/disable change to enable and ENTER. save and exit. restart computer once again when acer logo appears press <Alt>+<F10> at the same time to enter the recovery process, refer to on screen instructions to recover system.

Windows Reinstallation Disk option:

Insert Windows Reinstallation disk into tray, Boot to CD/DVD-ROM by pressing F12 at initial boot screens, delete existing Windows partition, re-create partition, and then follow steps to reinstall Windows. This will lead you to an option for formatting hard drive. I recommend choosing the full format versus the quick, from this point you can let windows install, or just shut the computer down when the format finishes. You will have to watch the progress, though, if you don't want the install to commence.


Boot disk option:

For XP, 95, 98, or ME, follow the instructions at this MS article page. It will walk you through creating a boot disk that will allow you to format.

You will need a floppy disk or CD
