This Netbook is brand new and was pulled off display at Comet and was meant to go back to Acer, but never did. Now Comet has gone - fun!
I managed to source it reasonably cheap because it has a nasty problem, that so far I've been unable to solve.
I'm fully aware of the Aspire One's Black Screen of Death and have been trying to recover the BIOS most of today, but it just doesn't seem to wanna play.
It turns on, however -
The Power light (x2) and the battery light come on, no problem.
Pressing FN+Esc during Power on makes the power light blink - but looks like it's ignoring the USB drive.
The thing with this is, I think it maybe a different problem as the Lights coming on and the vague hard drive spin can be heard - but no CPU fan, yet it remains on for as long as I want it too.
The lights are on, but no-ones home. I've tried changing the screen - but nada.
I'm running out of ideas - has anyone else got any advice? My sister's on my arse about it, because it's meant to be for her for her college work - starting in a week or so.
-EDIT
I'm lying, the CPU Fan is so quiet it can't be heard, but putting my ear to the vent, I'm getting air blown in it for about 2 seconds when turning on.
