I have acer aspire laptop, model A716-76G and I am facing this issue for quite a while now. Sometimes my laptop doesn't open after shutdown even after doing all possible tries. I tried to reset battery from the pin hole given at the back of the laptop but nothing happened. It's the second time I am facing this issue, I shutdown my computer and was out of town for 1 day and when I came back and tried to open it, but it shows nothing. Battery is full, already done with resetting and all but no changes. First time I faced this issue I left my laptop idle for some 6 to 7 hours and tried again, it opened and now again i am facing this issue. Is my battery dead or is this a problem with any internal part. Please help me with this.
