Think you may need the VGA zip file and you may need winzip as well its normally freeware or trialware

Hi

Thank you for your query it sounds like you have multiple hardware issues

1) you mention that the ac adapter does not charge, then you say ac adapter ok. Please clarify if the adapter is faulty or the battery

2) As for the line in your screen, your LCD is faulty and will need to be replaced

I would recommend that you book the laptop into a reputable PC shop for further investigation/repair

If you cannot "press DELETE to enter setup", then it's the motherboard, or the battery, or the AC power-supply that has the problem.

Since it's likely that at least one of the battery and the power-supply are working, it's probably the motherboard (or the CPU on the motherboard) that is failing.

Take the computer to a qualified technician.

Replacing the CPU is possible, and is not very expensive.
Replacing the motherboard is possible, but is very expensive
(a few hundred dollars for a replacement motherboard, plus $100 for the technician's time to disassemble/replace/reassemble).

The only "good" news is that your files on your disk-drive probably are intact, and can be read and transferred to a new computer.

Of course, you can try to sell the "dead" computer on eBay, so that somebody else can "frankenstein" your computer with their computer, to combine two dead computers into one working one.

This is the link for the service manual it has an excellent troubleshooting section.

Hi there.
You will be able to get the laptop powerboard from ebay or Sony themselves, although if you get from Sony it will be considerably more expensive.

Good luck and thanks for choosing FixYa!!

I long + 3 short beeps or 3 short + 1 long beeps indicates memory problem.
The RAM module/s may need reseating to re-establish proper electrical contact.
If it still doesn't boot up then :-
Get the RAM module/s may be faulty, test the module/s in another laptop or get your friendly computer shop to test them.

Best is to contact Acer directly since they don't sell parts seperatly, the optical drive is easy to remove for this notebook.
You can find a slide button on the lower part of your notebook that
locks the optical drive in place, if you slide this button back you'll able to slide the optical drive out, no screwdrivers needed.

See also the service manual wich is found here: http://www.laptopmanual.net/acer-ferrari-4000-laptop-service-manual/

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.

Your memory chips must be had i that sounds like a chip problem under the laptop secured by two screws will be where the chip lodged pull it out and re-enter it might go it might not but that your problem I am sure of it.
