I reanimated my Acer TravelMate B113.
My story:
I had Xubuntu 17.10. Once an update was installed (some apps + kernel), after reboot OS stopped to work. I tried to load from USB using 17.10 (twice) and 17.04 (twice). Both OS from the same flash drive. No luck. I want to mention that I was able to change+save settings in Bios.
Few days ago someone above wrote that he put a hdd from damaged laptop to normal one, reinstalled OS and moved hdd back to the damaged laptop. I decided to do the same. I installed Xubuntu 17.04, put hdd back to damaged laptop. At this point (before loading a freshly installed OS) for some reason I deciced to turn off in Bios everything possible (usb, camera, ehternet, wifi, etc), saved bios changes, rebooted and OS worked! I rebooted again, turn everything on in Bios, reboot... still works. As I already have Xubuntu 17.04 on USB (this is the same flash drive as I mentioned at the beginning), I decided to try to load from it... mysteriously, but it worked.
As for now, I can not say wether my problem has any relation to this topic as I thought earlier, but my problem definettely occured right after update (and possibly due to kernel update).
