Acer Extensa 5220 Notebook wont Boot up

I have had my laptop for just over a year and never had any problems.

Yesterday it just would not turn on. I have checked the ac adapter and it seems OK - when plugged in the light on the front says my laptop is charging.

When I press the power button, the fan starts up and turns off after about 2 seconds - after that the power light stays on for about 20 seconds then goes off. There are absolutely no graphics shown on the screen.

I have tried removing the battery etc but the same problem.

Please help!!

If it still doesnt start without the battery then it could be an internal problem.
Remove the battery and the mains and press the power button for about 30 seconds then waite for about 5 minutes then reconnect the power cord and see if it will start up correctly.
If it does then once in Windows shutdown the computer and try with the battery installed.
If trying to reset it doesn't work then it will have to go in for repair at an Acer support center or where you bought it from since it still has warranty.

Good Luck

See if you can take the battery, ac power adaptor and CD drive. I know it sounds stupid but this has fixed many a laptop before. Wait a minute then put it all back together.

How can i factory set my acer extensa 5220

Hi,
To restore your laptop you need the restore cd/dvd that came with your laptop when you bought it.
Please be adviced that restoring your laptop will cause you to lose all your data. Backup any data you would like to keep, to an externad drive or usb.

To restore your laptop do the following:
Insert the restore cd in your cd/dvd drive and restart your computer.
When you see the message "Press any key to boot from cd" press enter.
Then follow the on screen instructions to restore your laptop.

Regards,
nicolasiac

The back cover of my Acer Extensa 5220 laptop is cracked

It would cost about $100-200 for parts.

That doesn't include the repair time. For me it would take about 10-15 minutes.

For a novice about 1-2 hours.

That's the jest of it.

New laptops $200-400 for decent rigs.
