Aspire5-sudden not turns on, the light indicator of the charger blinks three times,power light blink

relyts0314

Yesterday, I was just using Microsoft Excel and shut down my laptop after getting some work done. The next day, I was going to continue my work when all of a sudden it won't turn on.

I kept on rapidly pressing the power button, but there isn't showing any blue light indicating that it's powering up. But, if I put the charger it charges, even if I press the power button it won't turn on.

But I noticed that every time I press the power button the light indicator for the charger (orange) rapidly blinks three times and sometimes the power light indicator (blue) only shows a single blink but quickly disappears.

I tried almost every possible solution I could look for, but couldn't get it to work. Would appreciate for some to help out.

Thank you.

When an Acer Aspire 5 won't turn on and the charger light blinks three times, it usually indicates a battery-related issue. This could be due to a dead or faulty battery, a power supply problem, or a BIOS issue.
Here's a troubleshooting guide:

1. Check the Battery and Charger:
   Inspect the charger: Ensure the charger is properly connected and not damaged.
   Try a different power outlet: Test the charger with a known working outlet.
   Remove the battery (if possible): Disconnect the battery and try powering on the laptop with just the charger connected. If it boots, the battery is likely the problem.
2. Reset the Laptop:
   Hard reset: Disconnect the power cord and any external devices. Remove the battery (if possible). Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds to discharge any residual power. Reconnect the battery and power cord, then try turning on the laptop.
3. Check the BIOS:
   Enter the BIOS:
   During startup, repeatedly press the F2 key (or the manufacturer-specific key) to enter the BIOS.
   Load default settings:
   In the BIOS, look for an option to load default settings (often F9) and save changes (F10).
