This was one very unique problem.

A client of mine brought an Acer Aspire One for me to look at. The system was not showing anything on the screen when u press the power on button. You would see all the indicator lights flashing but nothing on the screen.

Well we had to do a little a research and one of the first things we did was to flash the BIOS. Its a major component of any computer. It worked like magic and the laptop started showing normal display. I thought all was fine till the battery ran out and I realized that even though the charger was connected, it wasn't charging at all.

Well this is another side effect of BIOS flashing. Well we ended up changing the computer's motherboard and now its as good as new!
