Default 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 ?

Have you tried Acer tech support? That should be your first option,
especially if the warranty is still in effect.

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.

If you're not in the US, Google your local Acer site.

Is the battery charged? Is the AC adapter working?
