    Firstly you have my sympathy. I doubt your warranty will cover this.

    If it's still booting the bios then it's possible that you have only damaged the hard drive a very simple process to change.

    Have you tried the acer recovery first via pressing the alt and the f10 keys together when you press the on button.


    Place a towel on a flat surface, Turn your laptop over, there’s a panel running nearly the full length of your laptop at the front with two screws, undo the two screws. The harddrive and ram are easy to remove and replace.

    Before writing off the harddrive use another computer to download a linux operating system like Ubuntu to cd. Ubuntu will allow you to test the Ubuntu operating system from cd without installing it on to you laptop. If it works then your laptops not as bad as you thought.
