Acer Spin 3 laptop SP313-51N-50R3 not charging.
Tinkerer
I purchased an Acer Spin 3 laptop a year ago. A few months in, it stopped charging, prompting me to send it in for repairs. It was fixed and returned, functioning properly until today, when the same charging issue recurred.
[Edited the thread to add model number to the title and to add issue detail]

If the laptop boots with the original charger plugged in, then the battery's own built-in regulator is most likely blocking charge due to a problem or fire hazard with one or more of the battery's lithium ion cells. You should replace the battery pack.

You haven't yet told us which Spin 3 model you have. Many of them have two status lights, one for the power and one for battery. The battery light should come on amber when you plug the charger in and change to blue when the battery is fully charged. If it doesn't come on when you plug the charger in then very likely the charger is no longer working. Which Spin 3 do you have? Your full model number is usually on the same sticker as your serial number, it should look something like SP3xx-xxx-xxxx.

OK, the lights are on the right side:
#2 is the power status and should be lit when the computer is on, #3 is the battery status and should be amber when charging and blue when fully charged. Which light is the one you see blinking amber when you try to turn it on?

If the laptop boots with the original charger plugged in and charge LED is still blinking, then the battery's own built-in regulator is most likely blocking charge due to a problem or fire hazard with one or more of the battery's lithium ion
cells. Accordingly, you should replace the battery pack.Jack E/NJ

Yes, a blinking battery light is supposed to show a battery failure, and is often right.
