There is any chance to install xp from external DVD?

Hi,

Firstly connect an external display to check if the lines are coming on that as well. if they do you have to troubleshoot the graphic card. Else the LCD screen.

if former then please reinstall video drivers and latter should be done by replacing the LCD Screen (if the computer is in the warranty)

The Manual usually includes service tips for the most popular parts like memory, hard drive. Anything more complex can only come from Acer.

You Rock!

It worked like a charm on the first try.

I used a datatravaller 4gb

Thank you!
