BLANK SCREEN I have an Acer Aspire 3610 and when i try to turn it on the power button will light up green but i only get a blank screen. I can hear the fan or motor from time to time but i still cannot get the screen to come up. i have tried f8 but i am either not doing it right or something, Please help me i am ready to throw this thing out a window!

Hi, I have encountered the same problem after upgrading my memory. I removed the new memory and so far so good.  By chance did you add memory and then the problem started ? Also my Acer has a DVD reader only, some models I believe could come with a DVD burner. Not sure if that's a possible clue. I'm going to check for a BIOS update. Hope this may shed some light on your problem. 

I have a pair of Acer Aspire 3680 that does the same too, I just hold down the power button and cycle the power. I think it's a design flaw where it hangs because it cannot properly detect a device. My guess is the DVD drive because it hangs on boot whenever there is a disc in there.

Your LCD display could have gone bad. Try hooking up an external monitor to the laptop. If the external monitor works, then your LCD is bad. If that's the case it may be more cost effective to purchase a new laptop. Prior to doing so, I would check with Acer to find out how much they will charge you to replace the LCD. Good Luck!
