it was a card reader that caused the problem, it will be going straight in the bin. I didnt realise the bios battery had to be replaced every 2 years, i shall get straight on to it There is a good thing that came out of it, i ended up buying a better graphics card (thinking the old 1 was dead) I just have a few software issues to sort out but nothing i cant do. Thank you very much for your help Shane

you da man, i removed the bios battery like you said, put it all back and it started up, i've started it up and run it in safe mode, i'll do a few chcks to make sure nothing is dead. is there any thing else you can advise, ie replace bios battery? Cheers Shane

nothing......... I have also tried replacing bits aswell, ie graphics card, ram, hard drive to no avail When it starts up there is nothing what so ever from the screen, just the fan kicks in the cd rom looks for a disc and then it turns its self back off, the keyboard has no life but the usb is working. When i removed the graphics card and then turned it on a gray screen came up until i put the graphics card back in

Hello I'll start with, when i removed my usb flash drive the notebook turned itself off and would not turn back on, when pressing the power button the light comes on to say the power is there and the lights on the media board (volume, back, start/pause etc) and the cd rom loads up with nothing on the screen, then it just turns itself off again, about 10 seconds later it tries again on its own but just stays a blank screen with nothing. Before all of this the computer its self was running fine with no issues. I've tried to Hirens boot disc and the acer disc but still nothing Cheers Shane

Hello People I've joined this forum due to having a few issues with my Acer 6930 Cheers Shane:cool:
