Acer Travelmate 2600 has a screen problem, the first starting symptom of this screen problem is that you will find your laptop frozen in the middle of using a program and would require a restart. This will happen several times until finally, you will find your laptop screen completely blank after turning on. The laptop will boot normally but will show nothing, its screen would be completely dead.
For some unknown reasons your laptop might start working again, one would think it might have something to do with the battery pack, to check this problem remove the batteries from the acer tarvelmate 2600 battery compartment, and turn on the laptop on main power supply if it starts working replace the old battery with a new one, but if it again freezes there is nothing to do with the batteries.
To remove any confusion that your laptop is working or not, it is better to borrow an external projector or monitor to check its normal working, if it again gives a blank screen there is a problem with its ram or the hard disk, in that case unfortunately you would have to visit your nearest acer travelmate center.
But if your laptop works well with the external source again there is a bad news that your backlight usually called a cold cathode has burnt out, it’s a very common problem with all LCDs, it is not too expensive to fix burnt backlight as the repair usually consists of opening the base of your laptops LCDs portion, replacing the cold cathode tube and reassembling the unit.
But before you opt to change your expected burnt backlight just press the backlight button to make sure you didn’t accidentally turn off the backlight. Pressing the Fn button and F6 at the same time is the backlight on/off toggle in acer laptops, for adjusting the backlight brightness hold the Fn key and press right and left arrow keys for raising and lowering the backlight brightness.
I hope with the procedure given above you will be able to resolve your acer travel mate 2600 screen problem.
