Everytime I turn my laptop on, it stay as just a blank screen?

I was on my laptop last night (Acer Aspire 5535, Windows Vista. Just incase any of this matters), and when I was finished, I put it to sleep as I usually do, because turning it off and on it so much effort. Maybe that's what caused the problem even though I've done it for years.

Anyway! This morning, I turned my laptop on, and the On light, the battery light and the charger light all showed up as usual, the fan was going and I heard something from the disc drive… But then nothing. The screen just stayed black and it wasn't loading. So I turned it off by holding the power button, and back on and the same thing happened.

Did a bit of research from my iPhone, and did that thing where you take the battery out, and unplug the cable, held the power button for 60 seconds and then plugged the charger back in, left the battery out and turned it back on. It worked fine after that.

Only problem is, now EVERY TIME I turn my laptop off or put it to sleep, when I turn it on, I have to do the 60 second power button thing. I also noticed that my web cam doesn't seem to work since today. It tries to work for about 10 seconds and then turns itself off again.

Any help with this would be great!

Thanks guys.

Also, just want to add, I put a question on a few weeks ago about VGA not working from this laptop anymore. Do you think my computer is just starting to fail and die?

Charge it?

Try starting in safe mode by pressing the f 8 key then do a scan

With all the problems you seem to be having I would restore factory settings. ( back to how it was when new)

If you have personal files that you wish to keep, copy them to external/cd/ dvd first.

ACER RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS.

For option to restore click programs - Acer - Acer empowering technology - Acer Erecovery management.

OR ->

ACER RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS USING BOOT METHOD.

Hold down the Alt key and start tapping F10 as soon as you switch on to bring up the option.

Password, if it asks, is 000000 (six zeros)

  • Why does my screen go blank when I cover the cam on my iPhone on the Skype app? I have an iPhone 5 and when I'm on Skype - even when I'm not in a call and I cover the camera my screen goes blank. It also does this when I'm on the home screen and signed into Skype but not when I log off - I don't know whether this always happens and I've just never noticed it or whether something is up? X

  • My iPhone went blank and won't turn on It went dead and I charged it for about ten minutes and the low battery sign was showing, then it went blank and now it won't show the charging sign and it won't turn on. It's been on the charger for 30 minutes now and nothing has happened. I even held down both the lock button and the home button for 15 seconds and nothing happened, now I'm panicking.
