Hi,
I started to have the exact same issue a few days back. When I switch on my acer, everything is fine, it boots up; but about 35 seconds after switching it on (yes, I timed it and it happens after so long consistently!!!), it makes a clicking noise and just turns off!!!
I have already tried to flash the BIOS, but it did not help.
Here are my system specs:
model: Acer Aspire One 8.9 inch, ZG5
OS: Ubuntu 11.10
HDD: 160 GB
RAM: 1GB
Any help on what to do or where to look would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks.
Regards,
Ani.
