Acer TravelMate P255-MG: Why my laptop can’t go past the blue screen!?

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 22:49:02 -0700

My laptop wasn’t turning on totally so I opened it up with a YouTube tutorial the laptop can turn on now but it can’t go past the blue screen send help

Previously, I had an issue where the laptop wouldn't turn on, and I discovered that the power cable inside the PC was broken. This cable, which is black, is responsible for transporting power to the PC when the power cord is plugged in. Fortunately, I was able to fix it, and now the laptop turns on without any issues.

This is an old laptop btw but it was working fine until I encountered a problem. It started with a 'PC ran into a problem, we'll restart for you' message, followed by a black screen with the Windows icon and a 'repair in progress' message. However, instead of completing the repair, it directly booted to the blue startup menu.

My acer laptop says ‘no bootable device’ when i turn it on. I watched some videos and it said it could be a problem in the bios. The video offered a solution, press f2 and go to bios menu and boot and change it to the LEGACY, but in that menu there’s no function called legacy.

Acer TravelMate: New laptop screen is completely black when I turn it on?

Fri, 23 Dec 2022 13:14:44 -0700

I replaced my old cracked screen with a new LCD screen of the same make and model. Model B116XW02 V.0 LTN116AT01 CLAA116WA0A LP116WH1-TLN1 TLP1

Now when I turn the laptop on, the screen is totally black. But when I shine a bright light on the back of the screen, an image appears on screen. So is this a dead backlight or bad inverter?

Weird thing is, the old screen lit up fine, it was just badly cracked. The new screen is totally dark. BUT now when I try in the old screen, it’s also totally dark but passes the flashlight test. So what’s the deal? Did I blow the inverter somehow? Damage a cable? I’ve checked the connections a hundred times and it’s driving me crazy. I don’t even know where the inverter is on an Acer TravelMate 8172T and I can’t mess around with the board. Please help!
