Computer turns off with a click sound after about 30 seconds?

Hi,

I started to have this issue a few days back. When I switch on my acer netbook, everything is fine, it boots up; but about 35 seconds after switching it on (yes, I timed it and it happens after so long consistently!!!), it makes a clicking noise and just turns off!!!

I have already tried to flash the BIOS, but it did not help.

Here are my system specs:

model: Acer Aspire One 8.9 inch, ZG5

OS: Ubuntu 11.10

HDD: 160 GB

RAM: 1GB

Any help on what to do or where to look would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks.

Regards,

Ani.

This is common problem with ZG5. It is the fan. Upon disassembly, you will note the fan has three leads. One for power, one for ground and a third lead that senses fan rotation. Check for free rotation of the fan and correct or replace and your problem should go away.
