Hi all
I have a Acer G600 and it won't boot up. When I press the on button the fan on the PSU and fan on the processor start and the power on green led is lit as is the amber led - which I thought was only lit when in standy / hibernation mode. There is a slight burning smell, not sure if the pc's fried itself or if it's just dust. The harddrive does not spin and there is nothing on the monitor - it just doesn't get that far. There are no post start up beeps.
Here's some more information which may confuse or help.... when I first looked at it, it started up (well as described above anyway) when I turned the mains power on, which it shouldn't as it has its own on/off switch on the PC. When I took the battery out on the motherboard and tried again it didn't start automatically, I had to press the on/off.
I thoughts are that with both green and amber LED lit, it is trying to tell me something!
I have not installed any hardware or 'played' with the hardware before.
Any suggestions on what I can do??? Thanks guys
