Eli I like a lot of your stuff but I cant agree with your anti ebay rant at all. When techs go to buy from ebay you just have to do your research before buying. This applies to even brick and mortar store shopping. I haven't had issues on ebay yet. I always do a lot of research before selecting a seller.

Can anyone advise what might be wrong with my Acer Aspire L100.

We had a power cut the other night and it knocked off her computer.

The unit will not restart and is completely dead.

Are there any simple methods of finding out what is required to repair it.

The power lead is a laptop type affair which does appear to be working as the green light is on, so not a blown fuse in the plug.

Many thanks in advance.

mgs me back

@megamind0420 Most likely your motherboard is dead. Pull the battery out and plug the computer in and see if it will turn on. then try another identical power adapter. If that doesn't work you need a new laptop.

You can also try reseating the RAM and the Hard Drive, but it's doubtful that will do anything.

Cheers,

Eli

All in all I thought this was an excellent video.  Thanks, Eli!

A note on a few things not covered in the video:

1. Crucial.com is another great memory site.

2. If replacing an IDE drive, note where the missing pin is and the accompanying adapter has a blank there. Make sure you have these aligned correctly and don't force it the wrong direction and bend pins. Also use patience generally and don't force anything pulling or pushing to avoid bending pins or the drive may not work.

3. Overheating - put laptop on top of a cooling pad.

What do you think about buying network cables on eBay? You can get 10m patch cables for £2, when in store here they can cost £10-£50. As long as they are the right category and have the right wiring standard, are they ok?

desktops are easy to fix but laptops are hard coz their too many small screw

@alex38079 sounds like either your OS is corrupt, or your hard drive died. If you get the BIOS screen, but it doesn't boot further... try reinstallig the OS, if that doesn't work try swapping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS... if that doesn't work... it's dead...

I'm glad i got to meet u on u tube. u'd really enlighten me wit ur courses. I'M GRATEFUL Eli. But I also av a problem with my monitor. My laptop is connected to an additional Monitor, which has always been working but suddenly does not come up and the message on the black screen is VGA Input - No Input signal. Then next is Monitor going to sleep. I've tried using another monitor and i av the same message, I've used another VGA Cable and still the same problem. What really do u think is wrong?

[elithecomputerguy]

@topetoni Either you have the Function Keys set wrong, your Operating System display settings are incorrect, or your motherboard is going. Without seeing thats all I can narrow it down to.
