Aspire Switch 10 does not light: 10 Windows Installer failure problem or coincidence?

Greetings! I have an Aspire Switch 10 originally running Windows 8.1 32-bit with Bing, which is a little less than a year. I had not used for several months, so in the course of a few days had been the installation updates which have been missed, while it was not in use. Yesterday, the update of Windows 10 presented, I ran the utility, which determines whether the system can be updated and then decides to go, despite some reservations about it based on horror stories that others have shared with me. But I thought that the relatively 'new' OS on it mitigate the risk to some extent. Maybe not so much. I'm not a professional computer, but have done enough hardware and DIY software over the past 20 years that I thought I might give this a go with limited risk, but in hindsight should have been more careful because the operating system is rather an essential component of the computer.

Download was fine, and the installation started and was about 19% when I had to leave unexpectedly for a few hours, so I don't know what happened during this time, or when the installation has stagnated. I went back to a completely black screen and a unit that does not turn on no matter what I try. I spent several hours last night looking and try different ideas on how to at least get it lights up, while I might try some of the other patches. No luck at all.

I thought I had created a recovery file, but I can't find a flash drive with one, if my memory fails me on creating a file of recovery, or lost it. Anyway, since I can't get the unit running, I'm not sure he would do any good if I had one in hand or bought an Acer.

The camera has a little less than 3 weeks left on the hub of the manufacturer and is subsequently under an extended warranty from Costco. However, the extended warranty does not cover problems caused by software or applications, so if it is a problem that was probably caused by the installation of Windows 10, I'm stuck with a brick or will continue to try to fix it myself or find a computer local store who might be able to help without the cost more than what I paid for it originally.

All the advice, assistance, are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Here's an update on my problem. This morning, I had a live chat with a support of Acer person. After a last-ditch effort to revive my machine from me, the conclusion was what I thought: the BONES disappeared. Fortunately, because the model is one that supports Acer for Windows 10 and my machine is still under warranty, the repair (original reinstallation of the operating system) will be covered by the warranty. The downside is that there is no local service center, so it needs to be shipped to Texas.

Needless to say I'm going to stick with the original OS as soon as I get it back.

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x 86) does not open with Windows Installer

    Using Win XP Service Pack 3. While trying to install a 3rd package of the party that informed me that MS Visual C++ was either absent or damaged. So I downloaded vcredist_x86.exe. When I tried to open it, Windows Installer came and demanded that I insert a CD for the file that Win Installer, should be in the format of .msi file when you locate the file.

    How can I bypass Win Installer or how Win Installer stop demanding leader .msi format when the file format is .exe. If not, how can I get the self-extracting vcredist_x86.exe program without using Win Installer?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Windows Installer is required to install any application on the system. If the Windows Installer is damaged, then you cannot install any application on the system and .msi is the extension of the Windows Installer file.

    ·        Where you downloaded the Package redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (x 86)?

    ·        Apart from that, you are able to install other programs on the system without any problems?

    ·        What is the exact error message that you encounter during the installation of the file?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to download the Package redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (x 86) from the link below, and then perform a clean boot and then try to install it on the system and check if the problem is solved or not. Follow the steps mentioned below.

    first try keys Alt + F10 at startup and check if you are able to enter in recovery.

    If this is not the case, Switch 10 use 8.1 Windows Home or with Bing, you should check with the exact model or by looking at the labels on the box.

  • Dolby Advanced Audio V2 graphic equalizer does not work after Windows Installer 8.1.

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion G6-2252sa laptop running Windows 8 and I just installed 8.1. Everything is OK, except the equalizer function in Dolby Advanced Audio V2 no longer works. You can always move the sliders of the equalizer, but the actual sound quality remains the same. It sounds flat as if all the sliders are always set to zero. I use mainly my laptop for music, so this problem is a problem for me.

    Anyone knows a solution please?

    Hi @Roygbiv

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are having problems with the passage of the equalizer of Dolby Advanced Audio V2. I'm happy to help you. Initially when you upgraded to windows 8.1 has update you the audio drivers for windows versions 8.1 for your laptop?

    If not, you can find them here: drivers PC laptop HP Pavilion g6-2252sa

    Another thing I would try is after update audio drivers, would be uninstall and reinstall the software Dolby and see if that helps.

  • HP Envy 15 "touch screen power LED appears, but the fans does not and the screen does not light

    Hello!

    I'm a student in computer engineering at the University of Waterloo 1A, and I run a very serious problem with my HP Envy 15 "TouchSmart laptop computer running Windows 8.1. It is a problem that just started today, and I'd rather have a first support here before going to see the technical support Office sometimes tomorrow. It has to do with the screen and the fans where the Power LED lights in white, just as when the laptop works properly.

    (I have warranty on the laptop when it was purchased last June, except that if I find that I need to get a replacement, I'll lose all my work, I did on that since I started my semester.) It's so silly of me not to have all my work saved on a backup, because I have an external hard drive. Problem is, I've had too many problems in getting myself organized, I'm not being open-minded as I should, and worse, I'm not a balance between life and work at home.)

    Before I had my MATH 117 conference (Calculus 1 Engineering), I was in a nearby lab where my laptop was open and turned, works correctly. I've had NetBeans IDE running since I wanted to work on the second part of my current assignment of CS 137 (principles of programming). Because it was almost time for my presentation, I closed the laptop by simply moving the screen down on the keyboard, where it goes into mode 'sleep'. (Whenever I flip to the top of the screen, the laptop is supposed to return, and the sliding screen of Windows 8.1 connection will appear.)

    When I took my seat for reading, I wanted to spend a little time to work on my programming assignment. However, after the reversal of the screen to the top, instead of having the login screen appears, I encountered the problem: the power supply light is showing a white light, but I don't hear the fans between the ventilation openings on the left side of the laptop and the screen does not light. I tried to take the power for several seconds and once button at least 10 seconds, except that the power light continues to display on a white light. The Commission of the Wi - Fi light is not displayed.

    Whatever it is, I don't want to take out the battery because I have that on my last laptop, and it's from there that I couldn't turn to the former, a new market. If I leave the Envy laptop battery, it will short-circuit the connections between the battery and the computer, and so several components will FRY. For now, what I do let the laptop is to empty the load on the battery. Then, once I noticed that the power light does not project a white light, or plug in the AC adapter and try turning the laptop on the power button.

    It will take a little while for the circuit drain the load on my battery but...

    Anyway, please would you be kind enough to help me with this problem? I would really appreciate if you can give me several recommendations. Thank you!
