doziej84: pls the fan of my laptop now makes noise when on and after a while that area becomes hot and it trips off. i would have recommend you clean up the vent but you did that already....the fan is not cooling the processor so the processor gets hot and the system trips off. so just change the fan and blow up the system vent/heatsink with compressed air. and apply thermal paste on the processor if the one there is not enough. |

I suspect one of the apps you installed is corrupt. Send me a mail at woleaheeb@gmail.com and I will give you the steps. Your ACER: hope you have a backup as the hard disk is damaged. You will need to replace the HD. |

CAUSE: your village guy installed an unlicensed operating system on the laptop. You went online and your computer tries to download windows update, microsoft automatically do windows genuine test and your PC failed. SOLUTION: 1. Buy new OS(original) just about 20k.(Best bet) 2. Continue using like dat. Issue is; U can't get the latest windows update. 3. There is this app that can help U out. Can't remember the name. Issues are you have to turn off automatic updates or don't use yo PC online. (Not recommended) I don't subscribe to software piracy. |

F10 to save and exit then test check the version of your bios and write it down.check acer website for your laptop model to see if there's any Bios update or a higher version If no joy obtain a iso bootable cd and test the hard drive [b]Last reesort [/b]If no joy you can backup your data consider replacing the HD as suggested by my fellow colleague. |

I need opinions or rather help on this. My laptop went black one day I put it ON and I had to put it OFF and ON several times before it display rightly again and I used it several days without the issue and I thought it was done only for me to put it on again after some days of non-usage and it went back to a black screen but I can hear the windows start up tone, I put if OFF and ON again severally and it came back ON with good display. My friend thinks the screen is bad or is trying to get bad. My question is; if the screen is bad, why does it come up after a while, I thought when its bad its bad. If it's not the screen, then what could be the possible cause cos the lapi is just a few months old. |
