Help!! ok.. here is my problem... my laptop was working fine the last time i used it, about a month ago, and a few days ago i tried to power it on and nothing.. no lights, no nothing.. someone told me it might be my battery, so I bought another one and a new charger, the charging battery light came on for a few seconds after that, but after about a minute or so it went off, and i am back to nothing.. what else can I do?

do you mean the HDD doesn't get recognized ? if yes den as per your info you mentioned that the hdd is 5 months old and Sony or any other manufacture have a warranty for them so you can easily ask them for a repair
But that's the hardest part .. download parttion mini home wizard named software and install it and connect your hdd and open the software and look that does the hdd gets recognized in it ? if yes then check its size and partition type and if its all ok then try to see if it works and also try it on another pc or Go for the first part

1. check you power adapter it may need replacement.

when u turn on your laptop press F8 and hold find the 1 that says last know configuration ok try that

My suggestion:
You need a new laptop charger with suitable voltage for your Acer Notebook.

get a new cord

the alarm is activating when he locks it and for some reason the key or fob isnt deactivating it..check the disarm switches in the door

The same thing happened to mine. Although it's dual power if the battery dies it won't work. Unscrew the back off the calculator and you will see a flat button battery, replace it and it will work again.
