My child played a John Deere game on m Acer Laptop and now my screen is blank. I can get onto the menu screen but my home page goes blank and the bottom you can see all the regular icons including the green one. It won't even close when you right click it.

try taking the hard drive out then switch it on without it then switch it back off, put the hard drive back in then it should work, if not try f8 then safe mode and do a system restore

SOURCE: acer 7720 will not boot

Do you want to try and see if a 'Linux LiveCD' boots? This is the way I test if the computer works. You burn this CD to a disk, and then boot off of it when you're computer starts. I will not modify anything on your computer as long as you go to 'Try Ubuntu with out installing'

Don't worry, I'm not trying to get you to install anything, just see if it boots into the 'live environment' (means you are running it off of the cd) If this works, that means that it is only your windows installation is messed up, and a reinstallation of windows should work fine with a Windows install CD NOT the recovery cd.

try a live cd and if it doeasn't work on it then ur screeen is dead.

P.S.
live cd=bootable cd
you can download it from linux.com
