Thread: Acer 7520 Vista Laptop will not start.

Thanks I did the re-melt jobby. Firstly because I used a Gas type soldering torch, I got abit of solder and played with the distance to melt that solder. As you say its F...in hot at the end of the flame. Re-melting as many joints as I could on all the chips and connections etc. such as CPU, DVD and whatever on both sides of the board. !!! IF anyone uses one of these torches the min. distance should be 50/60mm from the surface and keep it...

Re: Acer 7520 Vista Laptop will not start. Shame it's soldered (thanks Acer!) however I'd desolder both connections and remove the battery myself (but one desoldered connection may be all you need).

Hi night shift, I also got a acer 7520G, it is 17 months old now. So no warrenty left :( I tried several this, what I did notice that the FN+ESC will have some affect, it will enter the special mode. But not reading my floppy or USB stick, Tomorrow I will try it with an bootable CD (found that on an other forum). Just try and error I guess.

I'm having the same issues, but I'm not as computer savvy.... Is this a case of a dead computer and for someone who isn't as knowledgeable about computers is there a simple fix or solution?
