the vga board has
failed, its a very common problem in acer laptops, you can get a replacement
part from www.acerparts.com
im not sure if they ship into us but for europe thats where I get my parts.
my acers vga failed two times, ones within warranty and 12months after that, I
have to say that acer products are really bad quality, I'm not sure about the
latest models but from what I've seen the vga chipsets have real issues with
the motherboards and keep failing over and over again.
I have not looked inside your model
but the vga is either integrated into the motherboard = that means the repair
will cost the whole motherboard, better to buy a new one.
if your model has a removeable vga like mine does, then you can consider
changeing it to a new one. contact acer parts.
One of the covers in the bottom is
the memory, one is network and last one I don't remember.
here are the contact details if your
acer is out of warranty
http://www.acerparts.com/contact_us.php
The parts for your model are at http://www.acerparts.com/index.php?cPath=561_562_1064
you will have to contact acer parts
directly, it may be that the vga is build into the motherboard or then the vga
parts are not listed.Hope this may help;
