The N4620G nettop is, I think, a laptop-based motherboard in a mains-powered very SFF chassis, and has been working fine for a long time, and even over last night and for most of today.
Then, having left it ON but not in use for a few hours, I noticed that it had rebooted to the ACER Flash screen and just halted there - then no change after multiple manual reboots, and, whilst, it emits one single beep and tries to respond to keyboard (wired) key presses, it just freezes at that screen. Won't even enter the BIOS setup screen after pressing the correct access F-key.
From what I've read, it could be due to anything from HDD failure, RAM failure/displacement to M/B failure - so will have to take it apart (which is a very fiddly job!) in a day or so to see if I can find anything obviously wrong but does anyone have any other ideas as to what's gone wrong???
