Acer switch 10 doesn't power on

My Acer switch 10 does not power on at all. Tried different power adaptors but still no luck. Really love this machine and need it to work. What can the problem be?

First of all, do a battery reset and do the power button press and hold to see if that help.

Since you have tried different power adapters, most likely that two things needed to look at. They are the power jack cable or the power button cable( or called power button board by other manufacturers), whereas, I think the power button cable will be most likely the culprit. Bad power button is common for laptops more than a few years old.

Go search from the internet to get the part. Check Youtube videos on how other people take down the PC.

Hi Eddie0070,

# Power drain,

1.Unplug the AC power adapter.

2. Shutdown the unit.

3. Search for a pinhole on the backside of your laptop, insert a small paperclip in the battery reset pinhole, press and hold it down for 25 seconds. Then release the paperclip and try to turn on the unit and check.​
​Check this T/S and post the result.

Have done all recommended above but still does not power on. Thanks for trying to assist...........only option now is to dispose of it.

Don't dispose it yet. Try change the power cable,  that is not expensive. At least bring it to get a repair estimate.
