Hi everyone, this is my first post as i only just found this great site. I have a real problem and i hope there is someone that can help me.
I have an acer aspire 1681wlmi which has just finished its extended 3 year warranty. The problem started by freezing upon start up on a white screen then the freeze up got quicker and quicker each time i rebooted it. Now the power on starts the hd, everything flashes like normal and after 5-6 seconds the hd stops and the hd light goes out. It wont boot from cd, it tries, the cd spins then everything goes dead again. I have tried all the previously mentioned fixes mentioned on this forum like removing battery, memory etc, i even tried to dismantle the whole thing but when it got down to the motherboard i did not want to break anything and put it back together again. I havea feeling the mother board is dead please tell me there is hope....
BTW, i took the hd to my local shop and they connected it and said it was ok so that can be ruled out.
Please please help me.

Regards
Mark

What do you see on the screen, anything? It's possible the cmos is corrupted, although I'd be guessing motherboard is toast like Michelle said. You hear any beeps, anything?

If we help you, you'll have to renounce your imac.
