Hi there, I have a acer 1414 notebook, when i plug it in and try to get it to post the battery light blinks orange around 8 times, and then stops. i get no beeps, other other lights,.

I cant find any error codes searching for days on the net..

can anyone have any ideas of what the problem might be?
thanks!

sorry it blinks yellow, not orange, and will not do anything if i plug in a ac adapter and try to boot it up when the battery is removed.

sounded like ur mobo has bit the dust - led error codes decoding is hard to find, it is well guarded within manufacturer service and support

Sorry about that i think i originally posted in the wrong section here,
this is the machine that took a liquid spill, i pulled the board and washed it off nice and thought i would get lucky like i have in the past with mobo spills,...

Its a shame that this one might be fried.. Im not sure if i should look for a new mobo or just chuck it..

ok, looks like the ac adapter was loose, now, the unit will power on, but no video,
i get all the lights, but no video, or backlight.

but the cpu puts out warm air and the fan cycles...

Hi there, seems like the motherboard is toast, the machine lights up green, the battery charges, but no beeps or video even from external monitor

the cpu fan cycles like it should,.. thats about it.
the trouble is finding a motherboard for this machine, it seems like all the sellers on ebay think this is a hot item and want like $250 for it...
I just missed out on one for $60....

1410,2300 etc all the same mobo.
