You can reset the Device to original Factory settings by performing the following step:

Reboot your system
As soon as you see the Acer logo, hold the Alt key and start tapping the F10 key.
It will give you a recovery screen and you would be able to perform various recovery process which includes restoring the system to original factory settings. If you restore the system to Factory settings all the data in your computer will be lost.

note: You will be able to access this recovery option only if you haven't changed or Formatted the Hard Drive since it was purchased.

If you need any further assistance in this regards please feel free to contact.

Aspire One N214 Model # ZG5 keeps showing me a Acer screen before informing me that I have a Media test failure and that it has no bootable device. I have no boot disk it asks for, Please help me!

The media failure means either the hard disk has failed and therefore cannot boot up the notebook.
Try reseating the hard drive first, so it makes proper electrical contact. If it still fails to boot up, then go to the BIOS setup and check to see if the BIOS detects the hard drive. The BIOS may have a hard disk diagnostic program, if so then run this program to check the hard disk. If the hard disk is faulty, then a new hard disk is needed and install Windows on this hard disk plus the Acer's device drivers and your programs to get a working computer again.

Cracked screen

you do not need to replace the converter- As long as your screen is just cracked then the converter is fine. Converter may be bad if your screen is really dim or just blank.
