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;jsessionid=21F8A4F5112488B0393A130321319177.public_a_us003?sp=page74&UserCtxParam=0&GroupCtxParam=0&dctx1=25&CountryISOCtxParam=US&LanguageISOCtxParam=en&ctx3=-1&ctx4=United+States&crc=790373818 If you're not in the US, Google your local Acer site. |
