Ok I really appreciate your help :) No I dont have anything over important on there really, Im just glad Ive got this one I can use!

Ok it does the same thing whether its plugged in or not the LED light is on on the adapter and the laptop too (Thankyou for your patience by the way!)

Thats ok! No it doesnt turn on at all without the battery.. Really sorry, what is the AC adapter? Is it the "charger"?

Yes Ive tried a few times now tapping F8 and nothing.. I took the battery out like you said but the laptop wouldnt power on at all without it And no it literally comes on the acer screen then once the bar has loaded at the bottom it goes onto the black screen and stays there. On the acer screen it say press F2 to enter set up and F12 to display boot menu, I dont know if any of this helps?

Ah I see, unfortunately no I dont I only have the recovery discs :(

Hi and thankyou :) And thanks for your response! I think its actually windows xp sorry I really am an amateur! I tried getting up the Advanced Startup Options but after Id tapped F8 a few times it started beeping everytime I pushed it? And sorry again what is safe mode?

Hi all! I have an acer Aspire 1360 laptop and it was running very slow then I tried turning it on today and it comes up acer screen then goes black with flashing white horizontal line top left of the screen. I have absolutely no clue about computers and I was just wondering if anyone would be able to help me at all but in simple terms! I have tried searching the forum but it all seems a bit technical for me! :confused: I would very much appreciate any help given! Thankyou in advance! Gemma :D
