black screen at boot

Hi. Im currently in thailand long trip with my acer aspire one laptop.
Yesterday I did a pacman -Syu . Fail, because now when I try to boot only get a black screen.
Is direct black screen on intro in boot. Dont loads anything, dont shows anything after...
Now I see myself in thailand without computer :-S, only with my htc cellphone.
