Am trying to help a friend fix their pc, it's an Acer Aspire m160. Basically, it powers on, sounds fine but does nothing-- no keyboard response, nothing displays, doesn't even show BIOS. (Have tried multiple peripherals to narrow down, it's definitely the comp).

I unplugged the hard drive, the dvd-rw, even took out the RAM sticks, booting each time and same deal. The Acer support site only says to turn off the box, unplug, hold the power button for 30 seconds and then turn on again-- this does absolutely nothing.

Appreciate any help, kind of a last ditch here if anyone has any idea otherwise it's out with the HD and a new comp...

Thanks
 
Read through the stickied "Basic Troubleshooting Guide" on what to do when the PC does not POST.
 
yah, go through the sticky. my guesses are, in this order: psu, vidcard, mobo, ram, cpu
