Acer 1520 series
Not sure if this is an active newsgroup.
Have a Acer 1524WLMi which I've had for about 6 years. Works great, except for one thing. I've set up a BIOS password. After showing the BIOS bootup screen, I get a black screen with a blue box in the centre saying "Please enter password". There is a blinking cursor where the entry is. 999 out of 1000 times, I enter the password, and Windows XP loads fine. But about once every thousand times, I'll be entering the password and the cursor will stop blinking and a few seconds later the laptop will power off. Once this happens, it will probably happen a few times. If I leave the laptop alone for a few hours, it usually recovers. Very rare and very worrying. Regards, Alain |
