Acer black screen switch

I have an Acer switch and the screen went all black.  I can still see the slider and it moves when he moves, but there is nothing else.  How can I make it work again?

Hi dcclark.

You can now try the power button down for 5-10 seconds to get off the machine at the hard stop. The other option would be to use the battery backup button (it will be require a trombone, pushping, etc. and hold for a few seconds). This should allow you to restart normally. Looks like Windows was a blip and just started on the black screen.

    I'm not aware of any update of the BIOS that would solve your problem with your computer displays a black screen. This usually indicates a hardware problem that needs to be repaired. If your computer does not start in the BIOS, or boots just a black screen or a black screen with a cursor, we recommend that you only contact your local support in your area for information on service options.

  • Corrupt BIOS V5 531 Acer black screen after startup, f2 and f12 also. Repairable?

    Hello

    Yesterday I tried to install Win 7 if I could play D & D Neverwinter on Arc after using * nix systems study (looking to start a career as an administrator). I had plugged into a power strip that was, unbeknownst to me, turned off and I went to make coffee and watch some news. When I came back to check the progress of my laptop was powered off and since then I havn't been avle start without being blocked at a black screen after the start page of the bios. The f2 and f12 also leads to a black screen, I can not change the boot device or enter the bios Setup.

    Is - fixable at all? For example, is the a key-combo, I can use it to restore from a backup bios? Or, do I have to bring in a technician who can install a new chip bios or flash this old some how? Or did I brick pemanently my device?

    V1.22 is what you want to be part of a unit of Windows 7.

    The problem is if it crashed during the upgrade process, it will take some special tools clearly on the chip on the MB and recharge it with a new BIOS. I would contact your local support team to see what options are available.

  • New Acer Switch 10 SW5-012-13TT - black screen

    Bought the Acer Sunday switch. Only used for about an hour or two. Activate programs, McAfee, Microsoft Office etc. Obtained online at my email. Suddenly he begins to become slower. then I start to wonder if I want to install all these things that seem to be extra with... something McAfee? I think that I said yes to some things that I thought were part of the program. Then he slow - disappered of things from the main screen. Then I started to notice that he had detected Trojans that McAfee would manage. This happened SEVERAL times. They have all been called Artemis! and had their own figures. Shortly after, I lost the screen. I spent some time trying to figure out what the hell. I continued to get more notice Artemis. I couldn't use charms or anything else. Also I did Ctrl alt delete and it gave me the Task Manager. There, I could see that McAfee used a huge amount of juice. For the next period of time (dunno how long - I was in a panic computer) I looked at things by their opening via Task Manager, trying to see what has increased. I continued to get Aretimis advice and opinion seemed to be out of nowhere saying they did download things that I had not agreed to download. McAfee update it's self several times. I turned it off several times to see if she needed that.

    Since that time, all I can get is orTask black screen Manager and all I can get to via the Task Manager.

    I want to like this, but I think I should just take it back to Costco.

    Can someone help me? I'd appreciate any help or ideas you have.

  • Satellite C660 powers, black screen and switches off the power

    Hello world.

    I have a C660 - 22v.Everything worked very well. An hour later, then to use the laptop again, it works, and he turned on as normal in 2 clicks, then more nothing. Just a black screen, not yet turned on, then after 5 to 15 seconds, the fan accelerates for a second or 2, then the laptop turns off.

    Tried with the batteryout & just the charger pluged, just the battery, hold the power button, all sorts of ways, but it only of the switches off the power.

    I think that the hard drive has failed. Any help would be welcome as its out of warranty (16 months).

    A big thank you in advance, Neil.

    In my opinion it has nothing to do with the hard drive. I assume that there is a problem of electronic power supply. I have a similar problem with my A300 and at the moment I put t know what to do.
    Repair is probably quite expensive so I m thinking about selling on eBay as being faulty.

    Problem is that we cannot do much. What should do? You can dismount, take a look inside and put the new.

    Either it works or not. I'm afraid that your problem is for the service and it must be checked by the guys from the services of m.

    Whenever I go out or alt + esc out a game, the screen goes black, but his continued to play, it forces me to restart the pc. the thing is, it didn't happen until I bought my new monitor, my old monitor is an HP w2207h and my new monitor is an Acer S241HL Cbid.

  • Model Aspire 6530 Acer ZK3 HELP me please! eRecovery and black screen

    Hello world

    I'm completely out of my League, and I'm hoping that one of you can help me. The Acer Aspire 6530 had the black screen/no work so I thought I would format (option F10) to find this eRecovery is coming with a gray screen with 3 options:

    ---> Restore system to factory default

    ---> System Restore from the backup of the users

    ---> Output

    The only option highlight is out and I can't click on another option. My question is can I download the erecovery disk and put it in the computer or how can I make it work?  Something else, as someone may think, please.

    Unfortunately, we do not offer a version of eRecovery by download. You can try to reload the operating system with recovery disks, if you think there may be a problem with eRecovery. Recovery discs are available on http://store.acer.com, click eRecovery.

  • Just get black screen on Acer Aspire 7520

    I'm looking for a solution for this problem for almost 3 months now. My Aspire 7520 when tuned to just gives me a black screen. I took out the battery and held the power button down / stop and always the same. I also made sure that the fan has been free of dust and is runnig and I hear that it is trying to load, and now when I turn it off it is itself so I have to remove the battery all together.

    If you get either of the image on an external monitor, it could very well be a video card problem or a problem with the motherboard.  You should contact your local service centre Acer for assistance.

  • Acer Aspire 5733Z black screen

    Black screen on the switch.   Remote monitor works fine.   Haven't tried F5, no chance.   Managed to get the screen on once more by luck than judgment following other suggestions online.   Maybe a coincidence, but the problem occurred after the arrival of notification of Windows 10.   Would appreciate any help in any tech language, greetings.


  • Acer R7-572-6423 white/black screen. Indicator of battery/blue

    Acer R7-572-6423

    Windows 8.1

    Bought April 28, 2014.

    Question:

    Now I get a black screen permanently.  When it is connected to wall battery indicator is blue, I press the power button, light to power lights up blue for 7 seconds then turns off.  Nothing happens.  Screen not being able to, can not hear fans, etc. Same question not connected to the wall.

    There was a version of the 2.04 BIOS update that fixed a problem '2.Revise system cannot start when "Exit Discard Changes" has been selected in the BIOS menu."  I think this is my problem.

    Is there any recovery method that can be done at home to get out of this State?

    Here's one video of another user with the same laptop and same problem, but he has never released a fix. https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=AJeEZO_czxw

    Another user suggests to send in the laptop to have the EPROM replaced but never said why or if it is fixed.

    Thanks for the help.

    Just updated my own post-

    Something on the motherboard is indeed stuck in a permanent off-State.  There is no solution in addition to the replacement of the motherboard together. They are more expensive because integrated cpu.

    My laptop is out of warranty for a reason any since I bought it via Acer Outlet on Amazon, even though the laptop itself had been built less than a year ago.

    Chat online support for problems would not help at all.  They are a 3rd third party vendor and do not do this things.

    Sent a request for repair of Acer. They want $399 for repair.

    It took a repairman (people super nice btw, way more useful than acer supports... I would suggest strongly local mom & pop stores if you can), they want $360.

    Don't know what I'll do yet. I think it's ridiculous to pay for a bug of software known bios that bricks your laptop, but that's just me.

    Marking this as resolved issue.
