Acer Aspire 1410: Problem with the screen some strange line in the screen

Thu, 07 Aug 2014 05:06:20 -0700

When I turn on the pc the screen you can see the black stripes, like shades of gray, but if you use the hdmi port on the external display turns on normally.

What could be causing the problem

Acer Aspire 1410: Power button is broken. How do I bypass. Laptop Make is Acer Aspire

Thu, 09 Nov 2017 04:22:00 -0700

My laptop power switch button needed to be pressed hard before it responded and it finally decided to die. What i want to know is whether there is a way to bypass the switch to turn on the computer, because when i try to shot the switch from the slot where it connects to motherboard only led lights blink but computer doesn't turn on. I will be grateful for your response. Sorry this is my first post.

Acer Aspire 1410: Acer 1640 Old HDD u/s, new HDD not recognised.

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 19:50:08 -0700

Acer 1640, keyboard and screen too good to scrap!!!

The old 60 GB hard drive comes up as defective on boot and the o/s will not load/run. I have replaced it with a similar and known good, formatted, 60 GB, MK6025GAS, HD. (Formatted to Fat32, using EasUs Partition Master.)

When I boot from an external source, Linux Puppy USB or Linux Mint CD, the 60 GB HD drive (when installed in the machine) is not recognised when the Linux O/S is running, so I can't install the Linux O/S on it.

Similarly, if I try to boot from a Win XP legal Installation CD, the internal HD is not rercognised.

I want to load either Linux Mint or Win XP, as an O/S. prefer Linux, but if it can load XP I can then install Mint later on.

The replacement HD runs perfectly in an external enclosure on the USB, when running Linux, but not when installed internally.

(The laptop, will boot from the Linux USB/CD when there is no internal hard drive fitted.)

Any ideas?

Peter

Acer Aspire 1410: My Laptop shuts down unless I hold down any key

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 18:54:28 -0700

So basically when I turn it on normally sometimes it turns but shuts down right after, but if I hold down any key while turning on the power button it works and windows 11 booted up but when I let go of the key it shut downs my entire key board is functional its just that I need to hold down a key just to make it work normally? So I think this might be a connection issue because I usually keep my laptop on a laptop stand so I think the overtime there might be a little warp inside causing the connection issue
