Acer Aspire 5010.. Power on, but Blank screen/ hard drive light also not.

When I turn the laptop "ON", I can hear the fan, the Cd- rom light blinks.
but i see no hard drive light blinkin or nothing coming on screen. Totally blank.................. SO when i take the battery off then few times/ try restarting over AND over........ then finally maybe after 10-15 tries of pushing the power button ON & off. Finally I see the screen.


almost tried everything.... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

    THANKS FOR ADVICE..........



    But it does POWER ON, but not fully......



    as the fan comes on, i see the CD-ROM light flashing... Power light on............ but I see nothing coming on screen also , the hard drive light not flashing... as it does, when computer bootin.



    but then when i keep turing it off/on by pushing the power button..... once in a while the screen does start.



    I think it has something to do with RAM or Hard-drive.

    r start-up.

Hi,
This could be a Power/Switch Problem.
Faulty Hard-Drive.
Solution:- Leave the laptop turned Of And charge the battery to Full Capacity. ( usually between 4-16 Hours ) depending on capacity.
This will also fully charge the CMOS ( memory battery )
then boot the laptop up, and see if this solves your problem.
If not i,d suggest running a scandisk or hard-drive diagnostic program, to ensure that you have no Viruses-bad sectors on the hard-drive.
If you need further assistance please don,t hesitate to ask for more help and advice.

    Hi,

    It,ll be your hard-drive or connecter from hard-drive to Mobo ( motherboard )

    If it was ram, you,ll get a series of post-code fault beeps.

I just got this Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop used from Ebay that arrived on Thur Aug 15th. I installed my DDR memory and my 250gb ide hard drive. The laptop fired right up. And I installed XP Pro. ...

XP Pro! Now there*s your problem Mythbusters would say. Hence its going to become obsolete of security service after 4/2014, its not that MS is going to make it easy to install "new bastardo ones" into the system...

My acer aspire one aoa 150 shows a power light on and i can hear the fan but there is nothing but a black screen.

Your hard drive may have died. and if this is not the case and you can hear the drive spinning, then your monitor power cord from screen to motherboard has failed.

Could be a bad memory chip or a hard drive crash. Can you hear the hard drive engage? If so, is there any clicking or dull thunking sounds? Both of these are indicators of a hard drive failure.

Power ON/ nothing on screen-

Hi,
enter the bios setup, if you can boot the computer/laptop. Usually F2 on bootup, it will say entering Setup.
Then scroll through the pages to see if your hard-drive is recognised by the system.
