If it were anything like that, it would still switch on and boot, but switch off when it gets to a certain temperature.

Just a spanner in the works then Sebby..........hopefully its not too bad,but at least its covered and nothing added or messed with so I dont have to worry about anything like this and this is a relief.


I will miss the digital picture on my monitor though.....have to put up with analogue...

Processor meltdown, pestilence and plague?  >:D

ATM, I'd be inclined to a PSU failure, but without test equipment, it can only be a guess.

Don't worry about the warranty seal, Acer have admitted that breaking them doesn't affect the warranty.

I have 2 Acer's, never had any problems.

Good luck with getting it fixed. ;)

You should be able to connect the monitor to the laptop, David, though usually not through DVI-D.

Points to a bad connection perhaps Sebby.I will take the back off and take a look but once the job number is here they can take a look at it Im on the lap top at the moment but  the acer is still lit up and very quiet

Now this is interesting.I cleaned the back of it using an air cleaner and the fan again went into overdrive and off it went again.....so I turned it off.turned it back on with no sign of life....shook it again and its back on....hmm this time its has not turned off.so I will leave it,not connected to monitor yet but see how long it stays on...the fan is quite again..Im wondering if there is a fault with the fan and the machine is closing down to protect itself....have an urge to open it up
