Well, if the phone hadn't rang then, I'd been paying attention & wouldn't have done something that stupid. I'm running Win 10, upgraded from 8.1 & Acer doesn't support Win 10 on this model & I've used the DM before for years w/o incident when trying to fix problems. Probably just lucky but that's why I was looking to find what MB this thing uses, I'd rather use generic than branded but I got a really good deal on it, cheaper than I could build but... BTW, there is no Lenovo anywhere that I can find except for the BT headset but could that be my problem? Is it looking to fix the BT issue but I can't see how that's possible, can you?
Right now, it doesn't look like it will boot at all. I'm creating a Linux based boot disk & will try to boot from it later today. That's step 1. What I do next is a ? right now but I'll try anything but I've got to get in first then maybe reset. I think I've backed up everything.
Again, thanks for your help, it's much appreciated. I'm getting to old for this.
