Posts: 1 		Welcome everybody,
it's my first post. I'm an owner of A3000. Last time my computer had an accident - it fell down unhappy
Now while trying to start bips once and stops at the white screen. Any combination of keys (F10 , * F R DEL etc.) doesen't help. Please help me!
Cheers,
Sebastian

Posts: 187 		You'll have to open the case and take a look at the motherboard. Look at the bottom left, you should see a circular battery, if the legs on the components surrounding it are green, it's bad news I'm afraid the battery has leaked (an unfortunate design flaw of the A3000). It'll take a lot of work to fix it, but it can be fixed (someone on this forum rebuilt that part of the board, so it's possible).
