    Check if the new charger is switching off, as chargers have a safety switch, and a shorted laptops DC port could trigger that fuse on and/or there could be a short inside your laptop, as there are many reasons why a laptop does not power on, like shorted power components mosats, capacitors, faulty USN port boards etc etc . Also try to do a hard reset by taking the main and bios batteries out and leave all components disconnected for about 15min and reconnect all and reboot, and se if your laptop turns on and boots.

    If all the above doesn't reset your laptop, then you have other power issues internally that are shorted and need to be analyzed by an experienced tech or if this laptop is under warranty, then send this laptop to Acer support for them to fix it for you.
