I've heard about Aspire One machines dying before, IIRC it was something to do with the BIOS. You could try this - http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-recovery.html Worth a shot, and it appears it can be done through Linux (just put the files on a FAT formatted USB stick). Hope this helps. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
