I would say your motherboard has gone bad due to excessive heat. Of absolutely nothing displays after power is on, not even a POST, then it is the motherboard.
Acer Blank screen at startupMy Acer Aspire One notebook goes to a blank screen at startup. BIOS Recovery System
As
awful as it sounds, this is a fairly common problem with Acer Aspire
notebooks and it sounds like you have an issue with the BIOS - as long
as you can see the power button and hear the fans running to indicate
that it is not a power issue. Luckily, these notebooks come with a
built-in BIOS recovery system that should get you up and running without
damaging or losing any of your files. Know that doing this may void
your warranty, so if you have a warranty, you should talk to Acer
directly. Follow these steps EXACTLY, and it should work for you:
Format a USB memory stick to FAT. Make sure it is bootable.
Put the FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the memory stick.
Rename the BIOS file: ZG5IA32.FD. It is important that you get the file name exactly right.
Remove the drive.
Turn the Acer off, but make sure you have a working battery and AC power connected.
Insert the USB memory stick into a USB port.
Press Fn+Esc and press the Power button at the same time. After a few seconds, release Fn+Esc.
The power button should be blinking. Press it once.
At this point, the BIOS will flash - don't press anything or
interrupt this process. If you've done it right, the power button will
stop flashing and the notebook will reboot. When it is all done,
everything should be set to reboot.
Because you have an Acer Aspire One and you are getting the blank
boot screen, I'm betting that this will solve your problem. If you are
still having problems after following these directions exactly, then let
us know and we can try to troubleshoot hardware or screen issues that
may be the culprit.
The BIOS configuration jumper in an intel motherboard is usually in between the system battery and the motherboard's front panel internal headers (right to the Serial ATA ports)
Flashing the Bios is a LAST DITCH effort to resolve Hardware issues. You should NEVER flash the bios unless you are absolutely certain it's the correct bios for your computer, also NEVER flash bios from within windows..
There may however be a solution for you, Acer laptop computers with the Pheonix BIOS sometimes has a " flashback" feature, allowing you to revert to your original Bios..
You will need to contact Acer to get a Crisis Bios recovery disk from them. Or ask for further information on how exactly to recover from a bad bios flash.
Acer Ferrari 4000 "power on" blank screen, fan is running but no beeps, no activity in/from the HD. No reaction on a F8 start up (no Bios set up). It charges the battery OK.
