FAQ's:
Q: Does this video apply to my issues?
A: This video is for computers with no signs of life that appear 'dead'. It will also help if you see minimal signs of life such as lights only or some hard drive / fan sounds but they stop right a way. If you are able to see anything on the screen at any point or if the hard drive / fan sound remain on, your issue could be something else. Leave me a message with your exact symptoms and I can direct you to the correct video :)
Q: I have tried all the steps seen here without identifying the issue :(
A: If, after trying all these steps multiple times, you have not been able to find the issue, your most likely looking at a faulty component preventing the motherboard from working or a motherboard issue. I would start troubleshooting each component, starting with the charger and power jack. You can see those two videos here; • How To Test your Lapto... & • How to Fix Test Your H... . You can also try replacing other components like your Power Button to see if that is the route cause. If none of those are the issue, you would then be left with a motherboard replacement.
Q: The computer will only turn on when the charger is plugged in.
A: If your computer will only turn on when the charger is plugged in after all these steps, then I would next try to replace the battery as its most likely bad. Let me know if you would like assistance finding a compatible battery replacement :)

I have an old acer laptop from 2012. An aspire 5660 model ms2319.
The holding down the button to release the static helped. Thank you so much. Saved me the grief and money taking it to the shop. Recommend this video!

I must be honest, i was very sceptical about this simple process. i have a Acer I5 10th Gen which cost me over 23k and was not switching on. Tried your fixes and worked like a charm. Thanks.

Thank you so much for unselfishly sharing your skills in fixing a laptop problem. I followed the step 1 instruction, removing the battery and pressing the power for a minute and did the same process 2 times, then it went pretty well at the second try. God bless you guy..🥰

I honestly didn't think this would work because all of the comments seemed a little too positive. However it worked! I've been trying to get my laptop to turn on for over a month and it finally worked. Thank you
You thought it wouldnt work cuz the comments are positive? lol. Glad it worked for you :)
That first step totally worked. Hold the power button down for 1 minute. All I did was leave the laptop in the back of my car for a couple of hours.
Thanks so much.

Great video, thank you and I hope I've solved the issue.
Is it common that these problems may happen during a major update? That seems to be when I have this issue of not turning on.
Depends what the updates were. Sometimes computers are just weird :(
Thank you so mucccccchhhhh. I never thought this could work for me.I was so worried my laptop will not work any more. Thank you again. I will not have to bring the laptop to the warranty center.

Gave a like, although didn't fix the issue, I was at least able to turn the laptop on by disconnecting the battery and plugging in the charger. The laptop is over 3 years old, so just using it till I get a new one.

My acer nitro 5 (2019) won’t turn on unless it is plugged in, and when plugged in it won’t charge, it just very slowly runs out of power. It will also turn off every 45 or so seconds, but it’s not really turning off, the display just turns off and it goes back to the Lock Screen. I think it might have a lot to do with over heating? Do you know what I should try?
batterys broken
@@ClaimGame-iz4kz yess, I took the battery out a long time go
IMPORTANT!
Don't conclude just quickly that one of your RAM sticks has gone bad. Clean the contact areas of the rams and the slots very well and alternate their positions and be convinced before you go ahead to buy a new RAM.
I just did mine today and everything is working fine now. I didn't have to buy a new RAM.
I bought new rams and still not working...
I tried pressing the power button for a minute and then it worked! my laptop did turned on! thank you!!!

my laptop wont turn on. i've tried all of the things you said in the video.but it still not turned on.please reply on what to do
If your computer wont turn on at all and this video did not identify the issue, then you would need to troubleshoot deeper into the computer. Start with the BIOS Reset as shown here; czcams.com/video/VO5BhbiItCM/video.html
@@PC_Monkey i've tried to open my laptop but its kinda hard. I've removed the baterry. What did i miss? Should i open up the ram too?
@@sadadmuzakki1042 For the BIOS reset, you only have to remove the CMOS Battery for about an hour and then put it back in. Did you follow the steps in that video?
If the BIOS Reset didnt help then you would next test the Charger and the Power Jack as seen here;
czcams.com/video/YBhsVHideGE/video.html
czcams.com/video/HpabvrNaodU/video.html
@@PC_Monkey no i mean i'm struggling to open the laptop. Because there's one part that was hard to dissamble
@@sadadmuzakki1042 What is the exact brand and model number for your computer? I can look up how to get in it
My problem is that I tap the on button the blue lights start after some minutes there is display of black but with little light and it stucks like that
Samee
@@toyosimichelle1245 I fixed it by myself it worked for me so I tell you how to fix by yourself
@@toyosimichelle1245 first switch on your laptop or pc then leave it in the stage where it is stuck
@@toyosimichelle1245 Then wait for your device to switch off when it runs out of battery .
@@toyosimichelle1245 Then after 5 mins once it's switched off cause of low battery then plug in charger and switch on your device as fast as you can

@@PC_Monkey idk, my laptop is sorta different from the one you used in the video
@@waitedspeltwrong What happens when you press the power button to start the computer?
@@PC_Monkey it tuens on and shows “Acer explore beyond limits” or something like that and it does nothing else
@@waitedspeltwrong This video is for a computer that turns on / has no power. Your computer turns on but has trouble booting up. For that issue, refer to this video; czcams.com/video/gDQZvNQ2chc/video.html

Watched numerous of your videos. Great stuff. I have been chasing down this problem with no sucess.
I have an Acer Aspire E5 575 72L3. It's about 4 years old. The laptop worked fine. But the keyboard needed replacement as there were numerous dead keys. This model of Acer's is a pain to replace the keyboard. But mission accomplished.
I figured if I am doing this I will install a new battery as well. And for good measure add an SSD. Now the battery does not seem to charge and the best I can do is get to the blank grey screen. Can't get far enough into the boot cycle to access the BIOS menu even. When I first plug in the charger, I get the red light. If I turn on the laptop it will give me the blue light as well but it will not go beyond the grey screen. It will eventually revert to having the red light flashing and stop charging. I have watched all your videos related to this problem. I have done the battery reset thing, removed the CMOS battery to get the CMOS to reset. Even tried using the old battery again, which still worked just wouldn't hold a charge for very long. Still nothing. Charger works fine. Voltage at m/b terminal where charger cable attaches reads almost 19 v but at battery attachment cable socket on the m/b best I can get is about 8.5 v with charger pluged in. Out side of the laptop both new and old battery seem to be at 0.2 or 0.3 v. I am at a loss. Any suggestions? BTW I am in Kenya at this time. In a small town without the greatest of resourses.
1. Was the new battery brand name or generic? In my experience, only about 65% of generic ones work. If generic, try a brand name one instead.
2. Have you tried the power drain procedure as well as the BIOS reset as seen here in this updated video? czcams.com/video/kOBY4k2Mn_k/video.html
@@PC_Monkey New battery with Acer sticker. Exact same as old battery.
Did the drain procedure many times. And the CMOS battery out&in. Actually went through whole boot sequence, once, without a battery. Then I shut it down and re-installed the battery.Not working again. Took out the battery. Now cannot get the comp to boot again, even after many battery drains and resets. Something here stinks because the computer worked fine before, now will not even boot.
@@SailingOTR Hard to say without seeing it at this point, but something could have been damaged or incorrectly installed during all those replacements. Sounds like a motherboard issue at this point otherwise :(
@@PC_Monkey Thanks for all your time and assistance. I am thinking it is time to look for a new comp. After all this one is 4+ years old. And usually after three years it is time to go. Plus this comp has lived its life aboard my boat, so long time in a salt water enviroment. At least I can salvage the hhd and 8gb of memory.
@@SailingOTR Sorry it wasnt something easier :(
