Hello everyone.
I have recently been gifted an Acer Aspire 5532 laptop. I just got to looking it over last night to try and get it set up for my son for homework. It will not boot.
specs:
amd athlon x64 - TF-36 (2Ghz cpu)
Ati radeon hd 3200
2gb memory
320gb hdd
I have tried the following:
when i power on (in any of the above situations) i get a blank screen (no backlight or anything) no hdd activity.. however the fans do spin up, and heat is generated from the cpu rad if left running for a while.
It also seems to get stuck in a boot loop re-boots after about a minute to 2 minutes of runtime.

I have tried the following:
- bios hard reset
- boot with/without hdd
- boot with/without cpu
- boot with/without original and different memory modules
- boot with/without battery
- boot with different power adapter (matching voltage and amperage)
- boot with/without an external monitor
- boot with a windows 7 /8/10 usb drive to try a fresh install.
