So my Acer Swift SF315-52 series (2018) has issues. The screen stays black. Whenever I press the power button the keyboard and the blue light keeps blinking every 5 seconds. Then I cant turn it off, not even by holding power button for 30 sec or more(keyboard never stops blinkning). Only way to stop keyboard and blue light from blinkning is to press a pin in the battery reset. Then When I try to start again same thing happen (blue light blinkning and screen is black). Battery light stays orange with AC is. Any help would be really appreciated

    This seems to be a Gpu fault, Have you ever opened this machine or dusted it?

    Power drain + CMOS reset and check the 2xDDR4 module seatings in the 2 slots: Open the back of the laptop and disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard. Locate the CMOS module (with 2 twisted wires Red and Black) and remove the coin battery. Shorten the +/- contacts inside the CMOS capsule with a bended paperclip for 2 seconds and put the coin battery back with the + sign facing up, close the CMOS capsule. Unseat and reseat the 2 DDR4 modules. Next, press the Power Button on the keyboard for 10-15 seconds after that reconnect the battery cable to the motherboard. Close the laptop, plug-in the adapter and try to boot.
