my Acer Spin 1 will not charge (no orange light) and will not power on (no blue light). I am not sure if this is due to lack of battery, meaning the laptop is so dead it needs time to reaccumulate battery or if this is a different, battery related issue. I was desperately searching for the infamous reset “pinhole” on the back of the laptop and there isn’t one. What do I do?

    Some notebook models do not turn on if the battery is badly connected! Is your notebook still under warranty? Did you test with another power adapter?

    I do not have another adapter. I did not purchase warranty, does it come with a standard warranty? I bought it in March 2018. What do you mean by badly connected?
  • When you buy a notebook, it has a one-year warranty for hardware and ninety days for software!
    If the battery is misfed or disconnected, some notebook models do not power on:

    However as your notebook is under warranty, I recommend that you contact the technical support of your country! What is your country of origin?

    Hope this helps. My Acer Spin wouldn’t charge either or work without being plugged in so I solved the issue. I removed the screws from the beneath the laptop took the bottom of and there I found a small push button next to the ram (memory) . This button should be in at all times however the rubber that should have been covering this button had somehow lost its grip so I placed some tape over the rubber which helps the button to be pushed in once the cover is screwed back on and bingo. Battery works and charges perfect 👌.

    Gladstone, Thank you!!! You just saved me the trouble of figuring out how to get my data off this laptop, and returning it! You, kind stranger, just made my day.

  • @Gladston and @ScottC7171Would this be the correct location of the button?
