Question "No Bootable Device" for my Acer Laptop

[kyle2906]

Hi All,

I have an Acer work laptop and it shows a "No Bootable Device" message, mainly if the screen is on for a long time. But it also happens sometimes when I try to turn on the laptop from "Sleep" Mode.

There were a few times last week and it showed the "Blue screen"...

I wonder if that means I need to replace the hard drive.

What caused this to happen??

What, if anything, did you change or install just prior to this happening?

What is the model of the laptop?

Ummmm.....I did not install anything or change anything...

The IT team helped me to set up my laptop before giving it to me...

This is a Acer TravelMate P

Check with your IT folks. Sounds like the boot storage device may be corrupted/defective.

Can you access the BIOS and verify that the proper boot device is set as default?

The good news is..they allow me to choose a new laptop LOL...

So I can buy a new laptop in the local retailer LOL

Sometimes, the hard drive connection to the motherboard might be loose or malfunctioning.
