Acer Aspire 5750 not booting - battery light is orange or flashing

maxorlando

I have a huge problem my Acer Aspire 5750, which is only 2.5 years old. I first realised that there was an issue when I was working on the laptop with the charger was unplugged. The battery was running out, so I connected the charger. At that point, the power LED, electricity LED and battery LED down the bottom started flashing and the battery would not recharge: it was as if the laptop would not recognise the charger. Once the battery was completely out, the laptop switched itself off and it would not turn on anymore: the battery light is orange or blinking, the power led flashes once and that’s it. I tried to buy a different charger with no luck: again, the battery light is orange or flashes and the laptop does not boot. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

Could be a faulty power socket, leads, or its motherboard connector developed lousy contact. Looks something like this inside

Some simple quckie tests. I'd first try to wiggle/jiggle the charger plug in the socket while trying to power up to see if LED activity changes any. If not, remove the back cover and re-seat the MB connector. Report back with results.
