Hi I'm a noob on this site but I decided to sign up and ask this question in case someone has advice. I recently was carrying my Acer Aspire 7741g-6426 to my car and slipped on a patch of ice. Anyways me and my computer hit the concrete pretty hard. It was turned off at the time of drop but I heard a sound after it hit the ground which sounded like parts moving (possibly the hard drive). When I went to power it on I got the power light flashing for a bit but no boot. Then after a bit the computer started to boot (but the screen stayed completely black) and the fan got really loud and then suddenly shut down. Then it tried to boot up again and this time the fan just got medium loud and kept running at that speed but screen is still completely black...
I have taken the computer apart to inspect whether there are any obvious cracks in the motherboard or broken/loose wiring, etc etc but everything looks good in my eyes. I also tried holding down the power key for 1min while the comp had no battery or ac attached and then reconnecting only to ac. Still same. Finally I tried starting it without the hard drive installed and still the exact same set of responses. What could be wrong with it? Thanks for replies.
