My acer laptop won't boot pass the acer logo sign.

Hi Jim,

this seems like a no boot / no video kind off issue and mostly is coz of corruptions in softwares or drivers, try booting the computer in safe mode. if it does, then take a data backup. i would not recommend experimenting in this issue as it can crash the computer.
hence call 1-877-805-1027 for expert help.

You always need to include unit make
and model number and operating system info-

try going into the bois of the computer by tapping f10 key on startup, then arrow over to advanced, arrow down to boot sequence and make sure boot from hard disc is first, you could change sequens by hitting enter jey or space bar

Seems like a file is corrupt Try using the disks the computer came with to fix any errors

try F11

You can "try" to stop the process from starting by unchecking the appropriate box under boot menu.

go to RUN, type MSCONFIG, check the startup tab.

Hope this helps.

Try to put an operating system boot disk in your drive then turn on laptop.
When the screen says press any key to boot from cd/dvd press a key.If it is vista when you do boot from cd it will give the option in the lower right corner to repair-click on this-select repair startup option.if that fails try a re-install of your op sys.

Hi there.
The keyboard toggle you are using is the correct one.
Sometimes you have to hit Fn + F5 a couple of times to stay on there is no real set time. Make sure Fn + F6 is on so the laptop screen stays on.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

hard disk error, insert operating system disks and run a repair or a complete clean installation.
