It’s been dropped a few times but it was still working. This happened 3 or 4 years ago and I just now decided to bring it up. I have an Acer Aspire 5735.  It wwon’t turn on anymore. I plug the charger in and it lights up put when i press the power button, it won’t turn on. Can someone help me please?

EDIT:
So I pressed the power button and the charging light changed from orange to green but the screen still isn’t on and the laptop isn’t making any noise.

Basically, here’s what it did:

<p>1. Replicate the desktop (Vista)</p>

<p>2. Spit out multiple error messages about the hard drive being corrupt.</p>

<p>3. Popped up a window that looked exactly like the MS “there is a fatal error, try and fix?” message.</p>

<p> 4. Allowed you to click fix, and it would then run a diagnostic tool. The results would basically tell you the h/d, memory…pretty much everything was corrupt.</p>

<p> 5. Disabled access to safe mode!</p>

<p> There were probably a few other symptoms, but that’s the majority. I ended up taking out the h/d and connecting it to my pc so I could get the important user files off, then reinstalled the OS. That obviously worked fine, but I’ve never seen a virus like that one…it was pretty well done. The only thing that made me think it was a virus rather than a hardware failure was that it loaded with the desktop background intact, but then disabled it quickly in favour of a black screen (as opposed to getting a bsod for example). Has anyone else come across anything similar?</p>

Most of the existing hardware can be used. Is there an automated process that can be used to upgrade them in the off hours?
