Black screen on acer aspire 9300

Hello, have you tried reseating the memory, taking out memory and installing another? It could be a faulty memory module and if it isnt that sounds like the graphics processor on the motherboard is faulty. That requires advanced soldering skills. Hope this helps.

My acer Aspire 3500 wont turn on. It was fine a few hours ago but now wont boot. I keep getting the acer picture featurning the f2 set up and then the screen turns blank with a white flashing - in the left...

if you activity lights on, try connecting to an external monitor or modern flat screen tv. if the screen is flashing then it is probably a screen issue. eg the invertor r screen has failed.
