I have an Acer Aspire AM3910-E2512. I moved recently and now the computer won't boot up. It keeps trying to 'repair disc' but it ges for hours. I opened the side and there is one set of wires that

The hard drive has failed and needs replacement.

Dear user,


Please try to restore it to factory mode or re-install OS

To repair corrupted system file/s, boot up with the Windows installation CD then -
Press R to repair when instructed.
Press 1 or Enter to repair the C:\Windows folder.
Then type chkdsk /r and then press Enter.
The repair process will take quite a long time.

You must reinstall windows

Here is a link to a website that you can buy replacement parts for your device!!! http://www.aceroutlet.ca/categories/Covers-Lids-Bezels-%26-Cases/ Make sure to rate and comment on the solution!

Hi,

You can try two things:

1. Boot up and Immediately begin tapping the F8 key. When the Option menu comes up select "Last known good configuration"
2. Sounds like you need to reboot using your windows recovery disc.

If it will not boot up using the disc, try again but press F12 while booting (Sometimes F2 or Del) to get into the Bios settings. Here you can tell the computer to boot up from a disc.

When booted, select Repair your Computer.

Check if your hard rive indicator light is flashing (has disc shape icon or can shape icon next to it). If it is then put in your windows disc and do a startup repair. Make sure it is booting from the disc drive first. if it isnt flashing then you may have a dead hard drive. Try taking the hard drive out and putting it back in.

Take out the battery,unplug the power cord,and hold down the power button for 30-45 seconds,Then put the battery back in,plug the power cord back in and start the computer.

You could boot, press the F8 while booting, and "IF" the option for 'boot to last known good configuration' option is there, use it.
This should boot as normal, then download and install either AVG free edition, or Avast free edition, run and remove the virus that way.
I hope this helps, but note, not all systems allow the boot to last good option.

Creating recovery discs After setting up the computer for the first time, be sure to create a set of recovery discs of the full factory image. the recovery discs are used to start up (boot) the computer and recover the operating system and software to factory settings in case of system instability or failure.
