Welcome to fixya,


Acer Blank screen at startup My Acer Aspire One notebook goes to a blank screen at startup.
BIOS Recovery System As awful as it sounds, this is a fairly common problem with Acer Aspire notebooks and it sounds like you have an issue with the BIOS - as long as you can see the power button and hear the fans running to indicate that it is not a power issue. Luckily, these notebooks come with a built-in BIOS recovery system that should get you up and running without damaging or losing any of your files. Know that doing this may void your warranty, so if you have a warranty, you should talk to Acer directly. Follow these steps EXACTLY, and it should work for you:

1. Format a USB memory stick to FAT. Make sure it is bootable.
2. Download the latest BIOS from the Acer website. Follow these links for BIOS for Aspire One 150 or this link for BIOS for Aspire One 110
3. Put the FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the memory stick.
4. Rename the BIOS file: ZG5IA32.FD. It is important that you get the file name exactly right.
5. Remove the drive.
6. Turn the Acer off, but make sure you have a working battery and AC power connected.
7. Insert the USB memory stick into a USB port.
8. Press Fn+Esc and press the Power button at the same time. After a few seconds, release Fn+Esc.
9. The power button should be blinking. Press it once.
10. At this point, the BIOS will flash - don't press anything or interrupt this process. If you've done it right, the power button will stop flashing and the notebook will reboot. When it is all done, everything should be set to reboot.

Because you have an Acer Aspire One and you are getting the blank boot screen, I'm betting that this will solve your problem. If you are still having problems after following these directions exactly, then let us know and we can try to troubleshoot hardware or screen issues that may be the culprit.

Hope this helps.

Seems that it lost BIOS. There is a way to recover it - go to macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-recovery.html

this is a problem with the standby feature there is a patch that Microsoft has put out that should fix the problem i think the main cause is having a usb device plugged in when going to sleep, search Microsoft knowldege base and it should pop right up

This is due to a connection problem .you can fix it your self or let acer fix it for you.There is a connection on the left side conner if you unscrew the screen plate  6 screws .I put some soldering on the pins of this connector so when i fasten it it will connect even better to solve the problem

i think your gonna need to uninstall came and reinstall or do a system restore back to factory default

You should take it to a professional that can look inside and see if any components came loose.

I would try getting the power supply checked first. Also if the fans are working. If fans aren't working the pc will shut down as a default safety feature.
It could be a corrupt mbr (master boot record). If the fans are working try placing your pc on some books to allow complete air flow and point a house fan on it. See if it stays on longer. Then you'll know if its an overheating issue which it sounds like it. But doesn't mean it is! Let me know if you don't make any progress on this if you want to and we go from there.

The disc check stopping and going to a blank screen, indicates a bad sector in the hard drive, and the drive will need replaced. If you can still use the machine by skipping the check disc, then you need to back up any files that you want to keep, eventually the hard drive will fail completely, if it hasn't already.

Do you have your manual or a restore disc? If you do not go to this site to download a manual and purchase a resotre disc for around 9.95.
