Acer e5-521 orange light

Cdugger75

when i plug my laptop in the orange light will come on indicating that it is charging but every 10 seconds the light will flash. I have had the computer plugged in for an hour and it still won’t power up. Anyone have any ideas? I tried the taking the battery out and holding the button down trick and no that did not work. Could it just be my charger? Please let it just be my charger.

First try a battery reset.

If it does not power up, then it gets more complex.

Check your warranty status. If out of warranty, you can try to re-seat the RAM stick(s). It's moderately difficult. Note at 3:12 the warning about wires & connect to the front that must be disengaged. Not shown in the video. If it's not the RAM, then it may be the motherboard.
