Aspire A515-51 won't turn on - only blue light on random key

wallnet

Hi,

my Aspire A515-51 suddenly turned itself off while i was using it. After that moment only this strange thing happen:

If i try to turn it back on with the power button, no effect (no blue light on the led… nothing)

If i press a random key on the keyboard it the blue led turns on, the screen backlight turn on, the pc starts booting… but after a couple of seconds (i never go past the "acer" logo on the screen) it turns back off.

So far i have tried:

• Pressing the battery reset button for many seconds, no change
• removing the RAM, no change
• Removing the ssd, no change
• disconnecting the internal battery and the cmos, no change

Any idea on what could have happened?

Thank you in advance

This is a 2018 laptop and if the battery was never replaced it may have died after 6 years. Replace the battery and if the LEDs still won't turn on replace the power adapter as well.

Thank you for the suggestions:

I tried to replace the power adapter and nothing changed. I have no new battery to test it, but shouldn't it turn on if attached to the AC, even if the battery had died?

If i unplug the battery and connect the power adapter nothing changes…

Also i don't understand why it doesn't turn on with the power button but only with a random key on the keyboard
