I have ran into a problem with my Acer Aspire 7520g. I started the laptop as usual and it started no problem. I then left the room and when i returned the laptop was switched off. When i now try to boot it up it goes into a cycle of spinning up the hard-drive, switching on the power light button and then switching them bith off and then retrying again. The only way to stop the process is to remove the battery. I am unable to access the bios as this all happens within 4 seconds and it goes back into its cycle of trying to reboot. I have removed the hard-drive and replaced with a new one, checked the ram and slots by moving the ram sticks around but i am now at a loss as to what it could be. The laptop does this on both battery power and mains electricity, the battery is getting charged up no problem. Has anyone ran into this problem before and found a solution. Is it in need of a new motherboard. The laptop is just over a year old and just out of warranty. It runs Windows XP Pro, has both ram slots filled, had very little DVD-drive use. I read about a solution about the CMOS Battery but in this model the buttery is embody with 2 pins down & and up-side of the battery and cannot remove it. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks...
