My acer wont go passed the acer start up page

Go here and download the Service Guide for that unit. Then go to Page 116 (in Chapter 5) for instructions regarding clearing of the BIOS Password, or to Page 40 (in Chapter 2) for instruction on clearing the HDD Password.

The warranty is 1 year. So if you haven't gone pass the date, they will service a faulty DVD-ROM without a problem. Please contact Acer Tech Support.

your hard drive maybe corrupted. You may have to clean your hard drive and reload the operating system.
Hope this helps, Other wise holler

Well in the start up process this is really what happen the first couple second of the computer starting up...
the first couple seconds after hitting the power button it does a hardware check..
All hardware passed it proceeds to the software check the drivers and stuff...
if the computer comes to a black screen after start up, or any weird writings, then basically some hardware didn't pass the test and failed causing the start up to fail...
If thats the case i would recommend taking it into a local repair store or calling manufacturer if still under the standard 1 year warranty...
nothing to lose, but a welcome screen to gain, give it a shot...

Check the resolution setting on the desk top PC, try to set it to the native resolution of the monitor or the same as your laptop. Try another monitor with your desktop PC also.

Sounds like a hard drive or OS failure. If you can run diags on the hard drive, if unavailable or pass, try reinstalling Linux

shut it down completely it worked 4 me

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.
