Why won’t my acer 3 spin series laptop turn on?

ShayyNia

I have had my laptop for 7 months now, it was working fine yesterday night, this is the first time it has happened. It shows no indication that it’s charging, the charger adapter has no issues. It shows no sign that it is turning on. How can I fix this?

If there is no indication that it's charging then the adapter might have gone bad. Do you have access to another to try with? Do you have the tools to test the output of your adapter?

I have tried another charger adapter, i dont think it’s the charger. And is it possible you can send a link to a video?

Hi ShayyNia,

Try to do power drain,

1. Shutdown the unit.
2. Unplug the cables connected to the unit.
3. At bottom of the unit there will be a small tiny pin hole with a battery symbol close to it. Take a pin or a paper clip insert into it you feels like pressing a button hold it for 20-30 seconds. ​

If the charging light does not come on then there is an issue with the charging circuit. Usually that's the charger itself, since it's the most vulnerable item in that circuit. Which Spin 3 model do you have, it should be something like SP3xx-xxx-xxxx. We can look up the design to see if there's anything else easy to diagnose there.
