    Someone handed me an acer 5536 with the same problem not so long ago. I found a solution online (see video below) and it seemed to work. I got the screen to come back on at any rate. I gave it back to the person who owned but the problem returned a couple of hours later.

    Now the downloads in the video didn't work for me, but I found one of another site that did. I can upload that software this evening if the official BIOS link from Acer doesn't for you as per the instructions in the video.

    You need to format the drive. Right click and select Format. You'll have the option to choose Fat. WARNING! This erases all data on your external drive. Get a small, spare usb key if you can.
