Acer Aspire ONE AOA150 won't boot, display black, only power led on

Just need to reinstall the  bios  and everything will be fine. check this site:  http://sites.google.com/site/maclesblogspotcom/BIOS   First format an USB stick with FAT.  Download the latest BIOS, and put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file in the root directory of the stick. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD, that's important. Do not remove the USB stick.  Turn the AA1 off, make sure both battery and AC adapter are connected. Press Fn+Esc, keep it pressed and press the power button to turn the AA1 on. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds, the power button will be blinking. Press the power button once. The AA1 will now initiate the BIOS flash, do not interrupt it under any circumstances. After a while the power button will stop blinking, and the AA1 will reboot shortly after. Wait patiently.  The BIOS has been flashed and all settings reset to default.  If for some reason you made a mistake during the procedure and it doesn't reboot by itself wait 5 minutes before turning it off

Errors in attaching mdf after ldf corruption or deletion

Fix : Error Msg 1813, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Could not open new database ‘yourdatabasename’. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. This errors happens when corrupt database log are attempted to attach to new server. Solution of this error is little long and it involves restart of the server. I recommend following all the steps below in order without skipping any of them. Fix/Solution/Workaround: SQL Server logs are corrupted and they need to be rebuilt to make the database operational. Follow all the steps in order. Replace the yourdatabasename name with real name of your database. 1. Create a new database with same name which you are trying to recover or restore. (In our error message it is yourdatabasename ). Make sure the name of the MDF file (primary data file) and LDF files (Log files) same as previous database data and log file. 2. Stop SQL Server. Move original MDF file from older server (or location) to new server (or location) by replacing just created MDF file. Del
