My Acer Aspire 5000 won't turn on. I hit the power button, the light turns on for half a second then blinks off again. The HD doesnt start, neither does the fan and the screen never coms on. The battery is fully charged, I have tried power on with and without the battery, removed and replaced the CMOS battery. Removed and reinsurterd the processor, memory, and HD all while alternating between plug and battery. Battry indicates when charging and when fuly charged as normal. Still, issue remains... Any suggestions?

I have the same problem but I can get the laptop to power back on if I disconnect power, remove the battery and hold the power button down for 15 seconds. Cannot stop it from happening though.

I'm having the same problem also. Just had the HD replaced twice in 2 months and have had it back only 6 weeks and it's acting up again. Was working fine then the screen went black. Tried to reboot but the light blinked off before it would reboot. after many attempts, I turned it on again and hit the Cntrl F6 to start up. Sometimes this screen will appear on it's own after start up, sometimes, NOT. started it back up normally and in last known good config. Did system restore on it, Still acts up.. will just shut down whenever. Also getting colored vertical lines thru the display rather than a black screen. Then I have to manually shut down, and then it starts with a system check... sometimes finds an error, sometimes not. then occassionally, I'll get a msg saying system has recovered from a serious error. sighhh. I've ran anti virus, Mcaffe, and also tried Avira, No viruses. Also noticing it's running hot at times, but the fan kicks in. That was replaced last time with the HD too.

Frankly, ACER is JUNK. This is my 4th laptop and the WORST i've ever owned. I'm having the same problem also.
