Hi there, after not using my laptop as i was abroad for 7 days, I tried turning it on and noticed that no lights were showing up and the computer was not booting. Not even the startup sound can be heard. I tried charging it but the charging indicator light isn't coming on either! I tried removing the case and seeing if the issue was due to dust or something but i couldn't see anything wrong. When i reassembled the laptop i noticed the screw on the top left (hinge pointed up) was loose, and it seems to be due to a stripped screw hole. I believe this happened as I was removing the case. I was wondering if anyone could help me in answering some of these questions please:
1) How major is the stripped screw hole problem? is it a terminal problem or can it easily be rectified?
2) Any ideas on why the laptop isn't turning on? Should i try taking it to a local repair store or send it to Acer?
3) Following from 2, does anyone know how much acer would charge for a fix like this?
Thank you, any help and advice is greatly appreciated!
Oh and just to let you know I am from the UK in terms of repair costs
