I have an Acernote nuovo in my shop that will not boot. What happened is, it came in for a system restore while I was gone (this weekend) and my boss ( who is also a tech ) did the restore and it worked fine. He's just a part time sort of tech ( he's really good with some things ) and so was going to leave the drives for me to load as apparently he couldn't get them all to work. The customer came in and that's what he told them. He went to show them that he did the restore but some drivers weren't working and it wouldn't boot. First of all it has no power switch it just turns on when you open the case. Second apparently the only way to shut it off is to pull the battery. Now what happens is you open the case the light comes on and nothing, no screen ouput nothing. You can hear that it's running but it doesn't really sound like the hd is spinning. I thought maybe it's in a sleep mode of some type but it won't wake up! Any ideas? I know it may be a dead machine but my boss is kind of desperate. Any ideas would be appreciated.
