Saint in Paradise Posted 7 December, 2010 Share Posted 7 December, 2010 My wifes 3 month old Acer laptop won't turn off, the screen is totally blank and operating any keys has no effect either. Plugging the mains power in and the orange charging light lights up. Should I try taking the battery out, IF I can find it, or is it best to just take it back to the shop ?

thesaint sfc Posted 7 December, 2010 Share Posted 7 December, 2010 if you hold the power button down for 6-7 seconds it will turn off. All technology has a habit of being a bit funny from time to time, so I wouldn't worry about it unless it does it again or starts doing other peculiar things.

hamster Posted 7 December, 2010 Share Posted 7 December, 2010 There seems to be a spate of laptop problems recently. I know a few people aho've had a whole range of probs too. Seriously, I think this site is a godsend. A sincere thanks to all the forum geeks (and I mean that in an affectionate way). x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 7 December, 2010 Share Posted 7 December, 2010 Funny you should say that.....i have 4 laptops lined up around my flat currently to have different things fixed! From viruses to dead hard-drives to 'slowness' it does seem that laptops do not enjoy the snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 7 December, 2010 Share Posted 7 December, 2010 stevoh. If I were a cynical sort I might wonder if Bill Gangsta Gates hadn;t sent out a super worm to destroy the world's laptops thus increasing sales of his latest gadget, the massively overpriced i-pad. Whilst on the subject, I have two laptops here (donations) that I'd like to have cleaned etc so that I can redistribute them to deserving clients. If interested in having a look and giving a fair quote, I'd willingly give you first refusal mate. Just say the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_stevo Posted 7 December, 2010 Share Posted 7 December, 2010 Happily mate. Drop me a PM and we'll get something arranged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamster Posted 7 December, 2010 Share Posted 7 December, 2010 Will do s_s. I can drop them off on Thursday (PM) if that suits? 1 needs a keyboard (keys missing) and the other deffo needs a power lead before you could even start it up. Be nice to meat you in the flesh actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
