aspire v5 won't turn on

thibeaucory · June 2017

I have a aspire v5 552g-x412
Cpu amd a10 5757m
Gpu amd radeon 8750m
8g ram

Long story short, started with a screen problem, saw that the problem was caused when wires (covered) were moved so I took off to follow the wires and now the computer will not turn on with either the battery or the charger.

When power button is pressed, the power light flashes once and there is a faint click sound that I have traced to both fans.

No idea what happened. Any help appreciated

Hi,

Which wires did you move? Could you please explain what you have done.

The wire that connects the screen to the laptop joins up with the wire that connects the webcam and both are covered with a black covering. I followed that wire until the end where it connects to the computer board itself and disconnected it to see if there was damage done to it

The reason is because when I so much as touched the area where the two wires joined in one protective cover, the screen would flash making me think something was loose or that there was a dirty connection

Hi,

You may have not inserted the cable properly or damaged some pins, I would suggest you to check with an external monitor if you can or take it to a local repair shop and get it fixed.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it with an external monitor and still no. Would that cause the computer to not turn on though? I don't care about the screen showing but the computer itself won't start

I don't actually live anywhere near a computer repair shop so I'm hoping I can get this resolved at home.

I posed a video of what it's doing, if it helps
