My Acer laptop won't start loading when it boots. It's just stuck on the Acer logo. I can't get into bios, and because it won't start loading, I can't get to the troubleshooting thing either. Pleaaaaaase someone help omg. I need my memes back.

I've done a bunch of googling but nothing has worked
Nothing is plugged into any of the USB slots, it literally just wont start loading. On top of all of this, my screen doesn't work so i have to have it plugged into my TV via HDMI.

I think this has happened because the power disconnected from my laptop while it was trying to update a while ago, I don't have the battery in it because its old and crappy. I know I'm being awful with my laptop, but he's old and has been through a lot.

At this point I don't care if I have to fully reset the laptop or something. I just want my old baby back :(

Note: If this problem started after an update (or system reinstall), please make sure the laptop is not connected to the internet in any way before you use the following instructions.

Try the following...

1. Power off the laptop.
2. Power on the laptop.
3. As soon as you see the rotating loading circle, press and hold the Power Button until the computer shuts off.
4. Repeat this process a few times until you see the "Preparing Automatic Repair" screen.
5. Now you want to let the laptop boot to the "Automatic Repair" screen.
6. Click "Advanced Options" and then select "Troubleshoot".
7. Here you want to select "Refresh your PC", if you do not wish to erase data, or "Reset your PC" to erase all data and restore your system.
8. From here...

8. From here just follow the screen instructions until the recovery is completed.

NOTE: You will need to get into the "Advanced Options" in order to get the "Refresh Option". This choice will keep your data, but any programs installed will be lost.

Do not do a "Reset" as that will wipe all data you have on the laptop.


Another version of this is the following...

1. Power off the laptop.
2. Power on the laptop.
3. When screen turns black, hit F10 and ALT repeatedly until the computer shuts off.
4. You shouTo fix the computer you should choose the second option listed.
5. When the next screen loads, choose the option "Reset Device".
6. Now choose which ever type of reset you wish.
7. Your coputer should now restore itself to "Factory Settings".

NOTE: If you get a message saying "Error Resetting Device", then you should have the computer looked at by the manufacturer (if still under warranty) or by a tech.
