Acer 5610z start up problem
Hi all, When I turn it on my notebook, it will only show the first screen with the Acer logo and the blue bar on the bottom, that bar will get to about 60% before the notebook shuts down. During this process the screen shows the option for Press F2 for setup. When I do that, the option is replaced with "Please Wait..." and will do nothing further. Nothing happens if I press Alt and F10 either. Any ideas ? -- wpcalvert |

Another possibility: check the documentation that came with the unit, or Acer's web site, for a recovery (of the factory configuration) process that can be activated in your situation. http://us.acer.com/public/page6.do;j...&crc=790373818 If you're not in the US, Google your local Acer site. |

Is the AC adapter working? -- Kerry Brown MS-MVP - Windows Desktop Experience: Systems Administration http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ http://vistahelpca.blogspot.com/ |
