Hello,
my brother had a laptop that he used for school, it was very nice, then, our little brother dropped it and broke the screen, so our parents bought a new, well, to put it nicely, not as good laptop. after he used that for 1 or 2 years, my parents fixed the better one, and he left it in a closet for months. there was definitely something wrong with the battery, windows 7 kept saying to replace it. I got my hands on it last week, and installed Linux Debian from a live USB, but every time i boot up the laptop, i get the usual terminal looking GRUB booter, and then it just has a blank screen. Every time i try to boot it up, this happens, i even tried leaving it be for 3 hours to no avail. sorry for the long post, any info will help, i am relatively new with Linux.
The laptop is an Acer Aspire 5336-2524
