    Hello

    One day the acer aspire 7735zg - 424g50mn model no: ms2261 refused to boot, when the boot screen turns on, the progress bar loading about half and then it constant beeping and it loads a little more and stops and then the rest of the progress bar loads and it change to the loading parameter page and then it restarts.

    Anyone know what the problem is ? I did help the owner take out the hdd because he got some very important pictures and files on the disk. And for the thanks i got the laptop from he. The laptop is produced in october 2009 and is almost new.

    How do i find out whats wrong and can i take it on the warranty when its so new without the orginal hdd, was thinking about setting in a new sdd disk.

    How do i remove the keyboard on this model?

    hoping for a swift answer :)
    thanks

    Fascinating . . what does the owner do when his new car breaks down :)

    Doubtless he passed on the original sales receipt etc

    WOW for a good answer, that will help me alot. What do it help if you already have removed the motor of the car . Then you have to buy a new one, but there is still something wrong with the car and it is no use to buy a new engine if you cant find out why it in the first place got broken????

    Dont think they gonna fix the machine even with sales receipt, since we have removed the orginal hdd. Since the documents and picture was very important for the old owner... Someone ought to take backup often, or as he said.. he will never buy a Acer again..

    I was asking whats wrong when there is a broken bootprocess, someone ought to know.. Since i want to fix the machine so the son can use it, instead of using as parts on other project..

    Have never tried to open up a Acer laptop and its okey to know whats wrong if i gonna do that

    Hoping for some good answer which dont involve cars, house or other things which dont have anything to do with computers.

    Sorry, this just bemuses me . .

    "Loading parameters" is more like a linux or WinCe boot process . . I don't see that on my Acer BIOS at Boot-up". Is that what it is doing with NO HDD in at all? What happens if you insert a bootable Windows install disk?

    Why do you want to remove the keyboard ?

    Well, i think i have solved the problem, when i removed the keyboard. i discovered that the bios beep did go away. And it boot, but now i get ofcourse the operating system not found. That problem i have the solution for, since there is no hdd installed :)

    I found a repair manual for aspire 7000 series if anyone else get something similar errors. There everything is written how to replace all parts and more...It was not easy to find.. but here is the link for the PDF.

    Acer Aspire 7000 Series | Scribd

    Why i wanted to remove the keyboard you asked ? well there were some strange typing sound from the keyboard, and when connecting a external keyboard i got to get inside the bios.. there i could try to go left or right but it just jumped back as if keys are stuck, and then it hits me. The beeping is the same sound as when starting up a pc where you are pressing the keys to long..

    Cheers :) Now i have to find a nordic keyboard at a affordable price + SDD disk..then i get a cheap pc..

    BTW: any one knows if its possible to take off the buttons from the keyboard without breaking them. Wants to check if his kid have maybee spilled some soda or something, since it sounds like some of the keys just bounce with a funny slow sound.. Think i have heard a similar sound before when i spilled coke (the soda) on a pc when i did study..

    Sounds like possibly liquid damage. Notoriously difficult to repair at all, and then not always permanently.

    Keyboards normally about $40 on the web and the manual should point you to exactly the right part number
