Dell Vostro 1000 won't start
Screen remains blank when I start this laptop. The A led is flashing which I think is the caps lock? Have reseated the ram and battery. I don't believe it's a power problem as the fans start up and the power led remains on. Any ideas?

Try hooking a monitor up to the monitor port and see if you are getting signal, or try pinging the laptop name if it's networked. Let me know how that turns out.
It seems u may have some Heating problem with ur laptop check temp. in ur BIOS
The second problem may be with ur OS. I think u shuld give ur laptop to Acer Customer Care Center

You might try this:
- Remove battery, unplug AC adapter if it connected.
- Press and hold the power switch in few minutes and then then connect AC adapter and power up see if it helps.

As mentioned earlier, the CAPS lock is flashing, other two are off.

If you are under warranty you can send it back to dell, otherwise these guys are pretty good http://www.laptoprescuer.com/ or you can take it to a local shop or try looking into yourself if you're not afraid to crack open the case and you know what to look for.
