My Acer Nitro 5 N20C1 (AN515-57-74tt) will not turn on. When it’s connected to power the charging light will (sometimes) turn on. Once I hit the power button the charging light will just turn off and nothing happens. I’ve tried ‘purging the electricity’ by taking the battery out, pressing the power button for 60 seconds and attempting again but unfortunately it gives no reaction. Anything I can do to fix it?

    If the 2021 model the battery should be OK, if the 2019 model you should consider replacing the battery. Do the full Power drain and CMOS routine and check the RAM module connections.
    Power drain + CMOS reset: Open the back of the laptop and disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard. Locate the CMOS module (with 2 twisted wires Red and Black) and remove the coin battery. Shorten the +/- contacts inside the CMOS capsule for 2 seconds with a bended paperclip and put the coin battery back with the + sign facing up, close the CMOS capsule. Unseat and reseat the DDR4 models. Next, press the Power Button on the keyboard for 10-15 seconds after that reconnect the battery cable to the motherboard. Close the laptop, plug-in the adapter and try to boot.
