    Yesterday, My AOA 150, 120 GB HDD and 1 Gb DDR2 also won't boot at all :-/and only black screen and no activity at all.
    I went back to ACER service centre, the CS just revised the BIOS with the new version V.3309 and now my AO works fast and stable. :D
    Previously, my BIOS is V.3114 , So my suggestion try to update the BIOS to V3309 which is much faster and stable, and the Battery also has longer life.
    :)

    I had a similar problem when uninstalling Banshee. I think that I removed a file that controls the display for the desktop in error also.

    Not sure if there is a fix, but I just reinstalled linux using the recovery disc.
