Acer one 10 not charging, 1 sec blue LED showing

LoreWalker

Hi all,

I have a pretty frustrating, but hopefully fixable problem with my Acer One 10. I think I've owned the device for a little over a year now, but would have to check the receipt to make sure.

When I plug in the charger into the port, the LED indicator will show a blue light for about once second, then switches off and nothing happens. If I pull out the micro USB and put it back in, same thing. The thing seems to have completely drained its battery by now, as I cannot switch it on.
I tried a different cable, and a different adapter (from my Sony XZ premium phone). No succes. The original adapter and cable, as well as the "replacements" I used to try and charge my device, do work on other devices (phone and a powerbank).

Is the port in my One 10 broken? Is there any other possible explanation why it won't charge?
And probably most importantly, is it fixable at all?

Disconnect the charger, press and hold the power on button for 1 full minute. Re-connect the charger and power On the device to check the issue.

Are you sure you are using the right charger? The one that came with it put out enough current to charge even while the computer was being used. Most third party supplies put out enough to keep it charged, but not enough to raise the charge level while the computer is on. That's what it sounds like you are experiencing. 

The easy option to isolate the issue is by swapping the charger for another, or trying this charger on another device.  

You can also check the adapter using a multimeter. Plug in the adapter. Wrigle the cable and check the adapter. Make sure it's putting out the rated voltage. If you see voltage or amperage that jumps around from high to low a high,  Ditch that adapter immediately.
