My acer aspire one does not turn on (not even power light) when it is cold. But if i keep it on top of any warm stuff (like I keep on top of my modem and router) it turns on about in 30 mins. Once powered on it works fine with out any problem. I live in a humid place. Is there any solution for this probelm ?

SOURCE: Acer Extensa 5420 won't turn on, not a power/battery problem.

Just for the heck of it, try blowing out the cooling fan with some compressed air. If you have never cleaned it and the fan stops turning, the computer will go into a safe mode and not start up.
Ther should be a vent somewhere on the side of the laptop that vents hot air cooling the CPU. That is where you need to blow it out.
Hope it helps- just a longshot...

"Download the latest BIOS, and put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the stick. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD, that's important. Do not remove the USB stick.

Turn the AA1 off, make sure both battery and AC adapter are connected. Press Fn+Esc, keep it pressed and press the power button to turn the AA1 on. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds, the power button will be blinking. Press the power button once. The AA1 will now initiate the BIOS flash, do not interrupt it under any circumstances. After a while the power button will stop blinking, and the AA1 will reboot shortly after. Wait patiently.

The BIOS has been flashed and all settings reset to default.

The Bios can be found from the Acer site. Source(s): http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-recovery.html

After installing Windows 7 and any other new applications, please ensure that you have loaded ALL the required W7 drivers for your specific Aspire One especially the CHIPSET supports driver (if not, plug-in devices and other inbuilt devices like sound, modem, usb or video will not work properly). Hope it helps. Let me know how you go!
