fans are still running, tried putting a xp cd in to boot off, but nothing comes up, spins up and everything.
not hearing any bleep indicators off the motherboard.
anyone got any ideas, i've also tried that hard reset (with the battery & power pack out).
I've got that same kind of problem, i shut it down last night no problem and this morning it just won't start.
The leds come on and the fan starts as does the cd/dvd but then...nothing! No screen...Nothing! I've tried to start it a few times now and i have tried all the remedys in these posts....
Anybody got any ideas?
The BIOS gone dead?
Power supply(partly)?
Got a lot of important files there, so please....Help!
p.s. writing this on the wifes Acer Aspire one and it bugs me to bits that it works better than my Amilo 1526. =(
EDIT: Actually it seems I didn't try one of the tricks here..... The one involving the prying on the lid whilst perssing on the keyboard...It seems it did the trick or it's just
a huge coincidence but I'm writing this on my Amilo! And honest to god I did as the dude told me to an tried to boot....Now it works again.
Now, thinking about this, there might be something to this...When I write, as I am doing now, I rest my wrists on on the part of the computer that seems to be the problem area...So why not!
Maybe time to open up this thing and check the fittings(or let an expert do that).
OR I just got lucky and the next time I try to boot this...It won't!
But to be the smart one here, I've already copied all of the important stuff I could think of(+ the porn=)...)
