Hi. I'm trying to troubleshoot a friend's Acer Aspire x1200 that keeps cycling its power and won't come on. Has anyone experienced such a thing?
I'm at a complete dead end with this damn thing. Any ideas & tips would be much appreciated.
Things left to try:
Another processor
A discreet GPU in the PCIe slot
Pictures for what it's worth:
- I have replaced the PSU and the Motherboard.
Tried testing the hard drive in another computer and it works flawlessly.
Tried to turn it on with one stick of ram only. (has two 1gb sticks of DDR2 667/800)
Tried it with a different ram vendor.
Tried putting a cardboard shim in between the motherboard and the chassis because I thought it was shorting somewhere. No joy.
Reset the jumper on the BIOS and Battery.
Tried new SATA cables on the HD & DVD drive.
I'm at a complete dead end with this damn thing. Any ideas & tips would be much appreciated.
