My Acer Aspire One D250 screen goes white intermittently. I live in Washington, DC. How do I locate a repair facility that will repair my hardware problem?

Acer Aspire One D250 AOD250 has cabled dc jack, do not need to solder, plug in and your laptop will work, view this page for reference: http://www.lapdiy.com/acer-aspire-one-d250-aod250-wire-harness-power-jack-dc-in-cable-p-26502.html

If the toothbrush was dry. Your Keyboard may be damaged and would need to be replaced. Get model info and find one on EBay for $25.00.

I do not know your spefcific info but here are two randomlocations.

Bad video card, you will need to replace the video card, one sign that the card is bad besides a black screen is if you computer was getting hot.

Hi

After the battery and AC cord replacement and still not getting power there's only once culprit there and that is the motherboard of the laptop. I recommend you call Acer and have them replace it for you. Thanks

Here is the link to a company in Canada that has replacement AC adapters for Acer. The AC adapter for the Acer Aspire One D250 has a DC output of 19 volts at 1.58 amps which is what the AC adapter at the following link has. The price is C$12.99 so it is relatively inexpensive.

If you are handy with a soldering iron, you might try wiggling along the wire from the adapter to the plug on the D250. You might find one point where the wiggling consistently turns the D250 battery led on and off. If so then you can cut the offending section out and resolder the pair of wires back together. Make sure you don't switch the wires around. The plug has a negative shell and a positive tip. Should check with a voltmeter before you solder the wires and also recheck afterwards at the plug itself. Also make sure the wires at the solder point are well insulated so as not to short out across the pair. If you have in any doubts about doing this kind of repair, it would be better to just buy a replacement adapter.

Finally, you may be able to find an AC adapter retailer in the UK so as to possible have lower shipping costs. All I did was just google search "acer aspire one ac adapter"....

Since the Acer Aspire One D250 only has VGA output for its video, you will need a VGA cable to connect between the D250 and a TV that accepts VGA input as a video source. The sound is separate. A mini-stereo jack on an audio cable with two RCA phono plugs on the other end would be used to connect the D250 audio output (usually used for headphones) to the left and right audio inputs on the TV. You may need to use the TV setup screens to select the proper video and audio sources. With the TV on and proper video source selected, you now should be able to press Fn and F5 to get a menu in the middle of the D250's screen that allows you to select the video destination by holding down Fn key and pressing the F5 key repeatedly. The single large screen icon (3rd one from the left) is the one to select video output to VGA port only which would send it to your TV. The sound on the D250 does not need to be selected but you may wish to adjust its level and/or properties to be more suitable for TV.

Suggest using Acer eRecovery Management to attempt problem resolution as follows...
1. begin with the D250 powered off ...
2. if present, remove any external monitor (unplug its VGA connector from D250 left side)
3. power on and immediately press F2 to enter the BIOS / setup utility
4. using the right cursor key, cursor over to the Main tab of the InsydeH20 Setup Utility
5. if D2D Recovery is not enabled, cursor down to it, press Enter key and enable in pop-up
6. save any changes by pressing F10 to save and exit, otherwise press Esc to just exit
7. press Alt and F10 together while the Acer logo is showing to get entry into eRecovery.
8. eRecovery entry is indicated by message at bottom of screen "Windows is loading files...".
9. if not successful, power off, wait a minute then power on again and immediately
10. press Alt and F10 at the same time - do this several times while Acer logo showing.
11. once in Acer eRecovery Management (V7.0.10) screen, just leave it there........
12. if after a day or so, the screen has not changed, the problem is likely NOT hardware.
13. on the other hand, if your screen problem occurs after awhile, then it is hardware.
14. if it is not hardware, then your Operating System is likely corrupt or has a virus.
15. If it is not a hardware problem, you can completely restore system to factory defaults.
16. board level hardware repairs best done by sending D250 to Acer's authorized shops.
