Acer laptop screen not coming up Acer Laptop

Recommended Posts

When you say that the screen on your Acer laptop does not display anything, do you mean to say that you did nothing at all and the screen does not show an image? The first thing you ought to do is make sure that the computer isn't simply in sleep mode and trying to get it to wake up does not get the screen to turn on. Hold the power button of your laptop computer depressed for about 8 seconds till all of the LED indicators turn off, except perhaps the LED indicator for the power and the LED indicator for the charging of the battery. After that is done, push the power button as you normally would for turning on the laptop and see if that helps in any way. If you see the computer booting up, then you can rule out problems with the computer hardware itself because usually that is where the problem shows up if the screen is no longer working. If your screen stops working at the point where Windows is supposed to start, you may have a problem with the display drivers or with the display settings. Sometimes, when you set the resolution of your display to a setting higher than what is supported by your hardware, the display does not display the image - although in some cases, Intel does implement virtual scrolling to display the image for a part of the screen and the screen then scrolls to show you the section of the screen where the mouse cursor is at. Some people like the virtual scrolling feature while most people do not and therefore you do not find most computers today using virtual scrolling. If the problem is indeed with the display drivers or with the display settings, try starting up your computer with Microsoft Windows running in safe mode. You can press F8 right after the computer bootup messages or the manufacturer logo appears and select the option to boot up Windows in safe mode using the text based menu that appears. If you did not get the menu to display, you probably did not press F8 quickly enough and so you have to restart the computer, and press F8, to get to the text menu. If all goes well, Windows should start up in safe mode and you should be able to change your settings back, if it was a problem with the display settings, or install a new display driver, if the display driver was faulty. If there is a problem with Windows itself, there is little that you can do other than using a Windows CD or the operating system restoration CD that was provided by your computer vendor when you first bought the computer to attempt a recovery or a restore of Windows.If your computer screen seems completely dead, you might want to try checking if there is a loose connection somewhere. Most laptops are easy to open up while some involve more complex detaching procedures, so if you can find a technical service manual for opening up your computer and have confidence in your skills in working with computer hardware, you can give it a go and check for any loose connections. If all else fails, the only option you have is to find a replacement display panel, which can cost you a whole lot if you go to the computer vendor's authorized service centers or you can have a go at independent repair stores where they have generic laptop displays - these laptop displays may or may not be the same size as your original display, but they usually have a 'frame' to fit a smaller and cheaper display into your laptop to get it working.
