You may have a defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom: Screen flashes on and off or displays reddish pink hue. Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal. Picture flickering with dim display or appear black. Picture flickers on and off. All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replace the CCFL lamp.
To determine if the video card or the LCD is faulty, connect an external monitor to your laptop and power the monitor up first then the laptop, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight. Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight. It could be a faulty inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out; usually the CCFL lamp fails before the inverter.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

When i turn on the netbook it acts like its going to boot but then goes to a blank screen. can not get past the blank screen

Try pressing F2 several times as the netbook powers up. If it does not enter its Setup Utility, then its BIOS has failed. The Acer Aspire One netbooks with early BIOS versions were prone to BIOS failure. Fortunately, the procedure to do an Aspire One BIOS Recovery were posted over two years ago and can be found now in the macles archive. At your own risk, carefully follow the steps given at...
http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-recovery.html

If you are successful, keep the USB stick/thumb-drive with the recovery files and instructions for handling a possible future failure. What circumstances led the BIOS to fail in the first place is unclear but from personal experience after flashing the BIOS on my netbook to a later version in mid-2009, there has been no more BIOS failures. Before doing that, my netbook's BIOS failed twice in about 4 months.
