Just bought an acer aspire 3 a315 24pr7vh on November 2024 which is still under warranty 2 weeks after installing a new SSD my laptop suddenly shut down and won't turn on for 2 days even when plugged in (no light or sign of any electricity). After 2 days its working properly again. So, what seemed to be the problem? Any idea? Is it the new SSD card?

    Could be the SSD running too hot, what SSD did you install? Keep in mind that the Acer Aspire 3 A315-24P is a budget laptop designed for everyday tasks like browsing, office work, and media consumption not for games or large programs. Use only Best Power Efficiency Plan in "Power & Battery" settings.

    The Aspire 3 A315-24P has an M.2 SSD boot drive of an interface at Storage 1: M.2 SSD (PCIe Gen3 x 2 lane) type drive but a PCIe 3 x4 drive will work perfectly. For the boot issue, do a Hard Reset seeing that you have opened the laptop back cover up. If the hard reset doesn't work "as I don't know if you have voided Acer warranty by opening the laptop?" send your laptop to Acer Tech Support in your country, as your laptop might have a shorted chip in its power rail that Acer should fix in your new Aspire 3 A315-24P or change the mainboard. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    Hard Reset - open the back cover, take the main battery out, disconnect the RTC/BIOS battery and short the battery plug +&- pins to reset CMOS, leave the laptop like that for 15min and reconnect everything as afterwards your laptop should boot perfectly.

    Aspire 3 A315-24P RTC/BIOS battery plug, short the circled plug shown below at at both its +&= pins with a metal screwdriver monetarily as that will reset the laptops CMOS.
