Acer Nitro 5 Sudden FPS drops and flashing charging light
Tinkerer
ive had my laptop for a year now, and recently this past week ive been having very sudden and very bad fps drops - from 249fps straight down to 3. ive noticed every time this happens the charging light flashes from black to orange even if it is at full charge. ive tried cleaing the charger head and charger port however this did not stop the issue. Ive also checked by charging the laptop from a different outlet so i concluded its not the chargers fault.
Any fixes? Please

Amber flashing means Low Battery. Either you have a dead battery cell (when was the battery replaced?) or your power adapter is failing. Try to charge with another adapter that fits the DC barrel port or if not available get a new power adapter. (highest Watt you can find). If the battery still won't charge (amber LED flashing) replace the battery.

its not amber flashing if it is at full charge it sometimes flashes blue and then turns off for a while then comes back on

i suspect its a heating issue only. i have checked my battery and charger and both are fine - however when gaming when it gets a bit too hot it seems to choke on performace and leads to disconnection of gpu due to pwoer handling so it swtiches to non gpu performance but is forced to then again use the main gpu for performance.

@Chooms Both lights flashing means the charger is not providing enough power to the laptop. Likely the charger is faulty. You can try to replace another charger to see if it makes a difference.
