guys, please help me my acer 4745g laptop won't start. i already bios updated it by flashing using a usb. but still won't work. For 3 secs, the lights and fan will turn on then off again. it keeps happening but my laptop won't start. i don't know what else to do. anybody pls help me thanks!!!!!!!! i really need my laptop to work.
USB Recovery filename ZQ1X64.fd (extract the ZQ1x64EC.bin from the windows file.. then rename) use FN ESC keys pressed before plugging in power, and during power button press. then it should start recovery.
hi LAtinMcG, i already checked the ram, cleaned it and exchanged places to check if either of the 2 rams is defective but i think ram is not the problem.. wat do u mean by the flashing with USB SPi programmer? how can i do that? thanks!!!!
Hi mate, - i wasn't able to reset the cmos by battery bcoz i don't know how.. do u know how? - i already tried to remove the hdd and ram then tried to turn it on but still on and off in 3secs - no, i haven't tried to use different charger - i already tried older versions like the 1.05 version but still doesn't work - the problem started when my graphics card failed (overheated) while playing games like nba2k13, the screen becomes checkered then the laptop restarts - then sometimes my laptop won't turn on, just like the cycle i said 3secs interval then i'll wait for hours then it will turn on - and because i think that the gpu card is the problem, i disabled the ati video card in device manager, and i thought after disabling it the laptop won't have issues anymore - then now, after updating my bios to 1.25 the laptop won't turn on - i forgot to tell that i also have bluescreen issues before, sometimes it really happens - the fan moves, i can hear and feel it. - cpu heatsink still gets hot Thank you very much for your time and effort mate! i really appreciate it, Godbless
Hi mate! Tnx for the advice! I already heat reflowed my acer 4745g. I brought it at acer servicr center and i let them diagnose it then they told me that it just needed to heat reflow the graphics chip. It costs me around $20. Right now, the ati gpu and the intel hd graphics card still disabled in the device manager. Im afraid to enable it again because i think it might trigger the issue again where i cant turn on my laptop. What can you advice mate? Do u think its alright if i enable the intel hd graphics in the device manager? Or should i just disable it? Thanks mate!!!tnx so much! Note: ill not use the laptop for gaming anymore, just for office works.
enable it.. clean heatsink by blowing out the vents often and get a cooling pad for under laptop. yes laptops arent good gaming platform... most
ok, i'll enable it later. I just hope that it won't trigger the issue anymore. My problem about cleaning the heatsink is that I can't open or I don't know how to open the back of the laptop where the heatsink is located. Do you know any video tutorial for acer 4745g so that i can have a guide? I only know where the ram is located, that is the only part of the back that i can open. And the heatsink is not there. tnx alot!
my os is windows 7 ultimate I'll just reformat it again to win7 ultimate mate... thanks a lot! Godbless!
