You didn't say anything about the model or make but a lot of times this comes from bad capacitors...try this...on the open fins on the back of the TV, try putting a blow comb on there and set it on low and leave it there for about 3 minutes, turn the set on and see if it comes right on, if it does there are bad caps on the power board, it could be replaced or you could repair it yourself for a couple dollars
I recently had an Acer Aspire One that (after fully discharging) would no longer hold a charge. It worked fine when plugged in, but would turn off right after discharging. This is due to a BIOS error, and this article will show you how to update the BIOS to the official Acer revision 3309.
This article is meant for the AOA110 and AOA150 models ONLY, ingluding the ZG series of AOA110 and AOA150 netbooks.
1. On a separate computer, click here: http://gd.panam.acer.com/
2. Click Netbook -> Acer Aspire One -> AOA150 -> and then below, choose the "BIOS" tab.
3. Click the orange "Down" arrow to download the BIOS.
4. Open the .zip file and extract the two files: "3310.fd" and "Flashit.exe" onto your thumb drive. Rename "3310.fd" to "zg5ia32.fd"
5.Insert the thumb drive into your powered off Netbook.
6.Press and hold down the "Fn" and "Esc" keys and turn on the Netbook while still holding these keys for about 30 seconds, then let go.
7. Your Netbook should stay black for anywhere from 2-4 minutes or so. Once it restarts, safely remove your thumb drive, and charge it for a while. It should successfully hold a charge from now on.
I hope you find it very helpful. Thank you for using fixya.
Netbooks have very slow processors and graphics cards compared to their laptop and desktop counterparts. You could try and see if their is an update for the video drivers but you might just be screwed. I had an acer netbook and it sometimes had problem with full screen video, it would glitch well watching it.
3. too many errors when downloading, can be from a "noisy" connection, time outs etc. This has to do with bad connections etc anywhere between your ISP and your machine.
If you are using Internet Explorer try going under TOOLS, OPTIONS and clear the temp files and the cache. Reboot.
This can also happen if the drive your windows is installed to, typically the "C" drive is too full.
Downloaded videos can sometimes play "faster" than your Internet connection can download them, in the same way that parents can never keep enough food in the refrigerator to feed their teenagers.
Start downloading the video, and click 'pause' to let the download continue for 30 to 60 seconds, and then click 'play', to see if the video is "smoother" when the "buffered" content is being read from your local disk-drive.
If not, then the "performance" of your computer needs to be investigated.
How much RAM in your computer?
Windows 2000? XP? Vista? 7?
Is your anti-virus software working correctly?
Have you recently done a "full" virus-scan -- computer-viruses can cause your computer to slow down.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from your computer, and then reboot.
Does the reboot go faster with _NO_ Internet connection?
This is a known issue when too many edits are made. Supposedly Camtasia Studio 6 (recently released) will decrease your editing time by 30%. I have not been able to verify this yet. The best way to resolve the issue is produce what you have as an AVI and start editing that, and so on, and so on.
