Resetting laptop RAM

If instead of a picture on your laptop you see a black screen, only the indicators are on, and all attempts to turn on the device do not bring any results, check whether the laptop battery has enough charge. To do this, connect Charger, and leave the laptop alone for 30 minutes. Then try to turn it on. If the problem persists, you can repair it yourself using one of the following methods.

Method one - reset hardware settings

First of all, turn off the gadget, unplug it from the network, then remove the power source from it.

After this, we need to remove all residual charge and reset all hardware settings to the original level. We do this using simple actions - press the power button on the laptop and hold it for 25-30 seconds.

After this, you should insert the battery back into the laptop, connect the charger and, of course, turn on the laptop. After all this, all you have to do is find and select from the proposed list to boot the OS in normal mode. This procedure can be performed using the keys that have arrows (up and down).

Method two - reset RAM

If the previous method does not help, turn off the laptop, remove the battery and charger from it. Turn the laptop over, locate the cover on the back and remove it using a small screwdriver. The cover should be in only one copy, so finding it will not be difficult.

Then, under the lid, find RAM. It should look like the picture below. Carefully remove the RAM from its slot without applying excessive physical force to it.

Set the removed board aside. After 5 minutes, install the RAM, but in a different slot than the one from which it was removed. If there are several planks, simply swap them.

Assemble the laptop and turn on the device.

If you are not ready for such a serious technical intervention, then it is better to entrust this work to Acer laptop repair specialists.

Method three - soft reset BIOS settings

If your laptop freezes on a black screen during the boot process, then enter the BIOS menu. To do this, find and press the F9 button while rebooting/starting the device (this may be another key, depending on the laptop model).

Well, then we need to find and activate the “Return to factory settings” command. Please note: this option may have different names depending on the laptop model. Here are the naming options: Load BIOS Setup Defaults, Load Failsafe Default or Load Safe-Fail Default.

Method four - hard reset BIOS settings

There is also a hard reset of BIOS settings. Read what it is and how to properly and safely perform such a reset in our blog.

If none of these methods help resolve the problem, we recommend contacting service center I service Acer equipment, as the breakdown may be much more serious than you think.

We still hope that we were able to help solve your problem. We wish you good luck and smooth operation of your equipment!
