My Acer Aspire 3000 has a blank screen

Update bios. Check or replace cmos battery.

Your hard drive is missing from the system. Or, just does not recognize it. The obvious - Remove any USB devices like drives and any media from disc player. Its trying to load, but can't find bootable hard drive, CD, or USB... Remove the hard drive and re-seat (reconnect). Check BIOS by pressing an F key during boot. Look on the screen for correct Function key. Might be F2 key. Verify BIOS recognizes the drive. It must be listed! There is no going forward if it's not. Check boot order and make internal hard drive first. Save and restart.

Try upluging it, remove the battery, then press and hold the power button for 10 full slow seconds. Then wait 1 minute, put battery back in, plug back in and turn on.
It should now come on and work fine.

Try pressing the ESC button during start up this will give you the option of going into safe mode from where you can reset your operating system to a previous time

Most acer laptops have a special recovery feature..

While starting up your computer, when you see the first acer screen, start pressing alt and f10 at the same time, over and over..

You may have to attempt this a few times to get it to work.. If you see the windows screen, it has not worked, restart the computer again, and keep trying.

If you get it to work, it will give yo an option to restore factory settings. which will reinstall windows and make the computer like new.

Keep in mind this will erase all your personal files and pictures so you may want to save them first.

Try to put an operating system boot disk in your drive then turn on laptop.
When the screen says press any key to boot from cd/dvd press a key.If it is vista when you do boot from cd it will give the option in the lower right corner to repair-click on this-select repair startup option.if that fails try a re-install of your op sys.

Thanks and dont forget to rate!!!!!!!!

I suggest you check the settings of your bios. Normally this happens if your Hard drive is unreadable. Change the settings of the boot function to first boot on Hard disk and try to disable all other bootable hardwares like CD or network card.


Hope this helps.
