    do you see anything on the screen? A flashing cursor?

    Try hooking a monitor to it also and see if you can see anything on the monitor.

    Safe mode a great idea. pres F5 while booting and a menu should come up that allows you to select safe mode.

    I would check to see if there is a computer shop near you that you could take it to. I wouldn't waste the money or time for Acer tech support to try to correct the issue.

    It seems like you have an issue that is a little past your abilities so I would suggest seeking out someone knowledgeable that is near you. We could throw out things to try but without being there it is a little difficult. If one of us could remotely tie into your computer that would be one thing but by your description you don't have the ability to currently access anything.

    What if the video card is bad. reloading windows isn't going to fix that.

    I agree Geeksquad is a ripoff.
