I have a Nitro 5 (bought second hand in 2021) and I use it a lot. Yesterday I went to use it and my fans nor display will run. My keys light up like normal and the fans shut off after a second or two. It's fully charged, or should be, and all my hardware looks to be intact. Does anyone know how I can fix this at home or is it time to upgrade (not that I really want to. I'm pretty attached this this laptop as it's run well these past few years).

    What is the full model number of your Nitro 5?

    Try a power reset. To reset your Acer laptop using the battery reset pinhole, first ensure the laptop is turned off and unplugged from the AC adapter. Locate the battery reset pinhole on the bottom of your laptop, usually marked with a battery icon. Using a small paperclip or a similar object, press and hold the reset button inside the pinhole for about 5 seconds. After releasing the button, wait for approximately 5 minutes before plugging in the AC adapter and powering on your laptop. This process temporarily disconnects and reconnects the internal battery, which can help resolve power and battery-related issues.
