Hi there!
I hope you people can help me out there!!
I have an acer laptop - and for about 4 weeks now it takes about 30-40 mins to turn on - I press the button to power it on, the little lights light on - but nothing happens - I can hear noises - but a blank screen - eventually it turns on and works like normal
Any clues???
Thanks!!!

hold down button for 10 seconds
if problem is still present, backup data, and factory restore using acer erecovery
if it still does it after that, hardware problem!!

I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple
