Hello!

I have an Aspire 7 that won't boot. It powers on enough to light up the keyboard and spin the fans for a few seconds, but nothing appears on the screen and I don't hear the HDD spin up. Battery LED is slowly flashing amber and the power LED is blue.

It was working prior to upgrading the RAM from 1x8GB to 2x16GB and adding a 1TB M.2 2280 SATA SSD drive.

I have tried the following:

Removed the new RAM and replaced it with the original 8GB.
Removed the SSD drive
Disconnected the BIOS and main batteries overnight
Reconnected them, performed a hard reset using the pinhole

Any assistance is appreciated!
