    I have the same issue but the Laptop wont boot into the bios or from a CD. When trying to enter the bios it gets past the detecting the drives and memory but then reboots. Have eliminated the RAM and HDD as the causes.

    My laptop Acer travelmate 5000 series powers on. The fan starts and then there is no display.The fan stops.

    I checked the RAM n changes with 1 GB but yet not resolved. I think there is problem with the CMOS battery. But no ACER service center.

    When my acer 290 starts up the fan comes on for a few sec and then the screen goes black.Restart and does the same thing. If I beat on the keyboard I can get it start up and use it but at any giving time it will just shut off.

I had the same problem with my acer 290 series laptop. (It would blue screen during the boot up process) It turned out that if I swiched off the wireless swich on the side of the laptop, the problem went away. I simply brought a wireless card to plug in the side of the laptop. Now all is well..

When i tried to turn mine on the lights lit up for maybe 2 seconds could hear it trying to start then it would shut itself back down and try again. it just kept doing this over and over.had to send it to hp. no one else could figure it out. hp said it was a faulty motherboard, but was covered under a factory recall. they fixed it at no charge.
