Question about Acer Aspire 3000 Notebook

1 Answer

Comp boots, no screen lighting

I have an Acer aspire 3000 laptop. It boots fine, runs XP. It plays music seems to operate fine, however the screen does display but with no light coming from the screen. So I can see my desktop, but only if I look really hard. I can play music open files etc, but with no light coming from behind to really enable me to see it properly. Turn the lights off at night and it is pitch black. I plugged in another monitor and booted up. I saw the windows start up on this new screen, I could see the blue background (dos type windows Fat 32 ran cos I did not shut it down properly due to not being able to see the screen) but then the monitor said it was going to sleep and showed nothing more. I could not wake the monitor by moving mouse or keypad. I could still see the back ground on the laptop, but just as normal - peering really hard with light from the room illuminating the screen. Theres my problem. Any solutions would be great. The only thing I did different was bought a new memory stick and loaded the software on that to the comp. That same day the screen stopped working. ??? Odd. Any help - thanks

This sounds like the backlighting has faulted, as around the screen there are tubes lighting the screen up, if these are gone they are replaceble but i would suggest taking to a qualified repairer as it is quite a complicated proceedure and get a price first as it may be cheaper replacing the notebook.

My acer laptop , when it was recently rebooting froze up on the Aspire photo (after the screen displays windows xp). Now after taking out the battery, recharging it, and re-starting the laptop, continues...
Try booting in safe mode.
As soon as the operating starts to boot, very quickly press f8 to enter safe mode. See if it can boot in safe mode.

My acer aspire one notebook its power its on but its not operating.
Hi there, remove the battery & run directly via power code. If nothing changed then, please restart your laptop when its booting press F8 key . You will find few option asking for selection. Select that by using up/down arrow key. Select " Last know good configuration" & press Enter. Next page asking for selecting operating system, for example: windows vista or Windows XP etc. Just select the operating system & press Enter again. ( Hope your laptop showing only one operating system ). Your laptop will start normally. After the if you seen the screen dark then press FN+Right arrow in key board(>). When you press FN + ( < ) or ( >) key that's time its working for brightness controlling for screen. Now if all well then fine other wise please let me know .
Another suggestion is run your Acer driver DVD for installing Display drivers. When finish restart your laptop and watch whats going. If no success then format the Operating system & reinstall again.

Thanks & waiting for your feedback

ok after you start it up hold F8 and the boot menu should come up if you pick the dvd drive and it still goes to the acer screen you dont have a bootable copy of XP try making a bootable pen drive (google it it is pretty easy) and after you boot to the pen drive just switch to the dvd drive and install win xp

Acer 3000 not loading
Hey,

firts put the original harddrives back in place :)
then you need to enter the 3000's bios If I remember right
thats done by pressing f2 or del in a acer. it should tell you what button is correct on the bootup screen.

Then you need to change the boot order to haveing the dvd/cd drive before the harddrive, since right now its booting strate from the harddrive.

Then you should be able to restore the operateing system with the disks that came with the laptop and or from a normal xp or vista cd/dvd.

good luck!

Original boot discs
I'm afraid, you can't install XP home over XP Pro; it could be done the other way around. you'll have to  backup your important files then format your drive and restart from scratch.

if you have 2 partitionon in your HD e.g C: and D:
you can copy all your important files in the D:\ drive and just format and install XP home in the C:\ drive.
