Acer laptop aspire 3 a314. won't turn on with confusing lights

mrmeowmeow

I noticed just now that I'm unable to open my Acer laptop. Automatically, blue then orange turned on then turned off at the same time then 2 white lights blink then off with a sound of power off. Is there any solution to this?

btw, laptop is 1 yr old

Is it an Acer laptop? It might help if you could reveal the full model number. For example, ES1-131? Or E5-574? Or F5-571?

There are still many A314 models. Which do you have? A314-22? A314-33? A314-41?

(1) Unplug charger

(2) Press and hold power button for 5-10 seconds

(3) All LED indicators should be dark

(4) Gently insert and press paperclip into battery disconnect pinhole on bottom for about a minute

(5) Plug charger back in

(6) Wait for battery charge LED indicator to go from blinking orange, to steady orange to steady blue. This may take several hours

(7) Only after battery charge LED turns steady blue, try to turn the laptop on again
