Computer not turning on.

I have the T-2885 e-machine. The problem I am having is the computer is not turning on when I push the button. Someone told me it might be the on off switch if so where can I purchase one at. I opened the computer up and all the wires are in correct. I noticed a 3v battery inside, what does that control? Hope you can help me with this problem. Thank you - Ruben

You will get the on/off switch in the market. The 3V battery that you see inside has nothing to do with the on/off switch. That battery saves your BIOS setting in CMOS when your computer is turned off.

Thanks

You can name your machine what ever you like I would keep it simple and not include spaces to avoid confusion. The last machine I rebuilt I named after my dog "Ollie".

Acer wont power on

If the computer doesn't power on what-so-ever, it may be your power ribbon. I have the same issue with my Dell Inspiron 15.

The power ribbon on your motherboard connects to the power button on your laptop which obviously turns on your computer.

That may have been damaged. I suggest taking apart your computer and trying to find out the issue from the inside. (Or, if you don't know how turn it in to a technician.)

Random settings dialogue

I contacted ACER Tech services with this same issue, and they told me that it would need to be repaired. I have found that if you turn off the monitor, depress the far left button and power back on, the OSD doesn't display until you release the button. Not ideal but workable, Especially if your Monitor is out of warrantee like mine.

Computer not turning on.

sound like the computer is either in suspend mode > if this is the case, try holding down the power button for about 8 seconds.
If this doesn't turn it on i would suspect the powersupply. Iwouldn't look at the power button unless it's sticking OR has given you problem previously.
The three volt disc battery keeps your BIOS settings in tact.removing it will reset the bios and bios password if you ever get stuck with a bios password you cant remember.
The power supply can be replaced for about 45 dollars at staples or bestbuy.
Post here again if you nedd further assistance.

I don't believe that I told you to unplug the printer but after looking over your first question it seems to me that either the connection under the button is depressed further into the machine than it should or the connection needs to be cleaned. You would have to open the machine to do this and it may be difficult to get to but is worth a try. Why are you unable to leave the printer on constantly? It should turn on by itself if attached to the computer when the computer is turned on.
