Re: Acer Aspire 2920 won't turn on, although plugged in...
First of all, what I'm about to tell you are general troubleshooting techniques - I make no claim that they will fix what you describe, but they may help lead you to a solution.
- Unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery
- Plug in the AC adapter and attempt to power on the laptop
- If it doesn't power on, see #6 below. If it does power on, but doesn't boot the OS, restart - pressing [SPACE] as the first Windows splash screen appears. When prompted, choose to delete the hibernation file and start a system boot.
- Shut the system down, disconnect the AC adapter, reinsert the battery, and attempt to power the laptop. If it doesn't start we know, at the very least, there's a battery problem.
- Plug in the AC adapter. If it shuts down immediately, or won't power back on after a shutdown. . .
- . . .there's a problem with the system board, probably the ciruitry associated with charging the battery.
I hope you 'see the light'. Good Luck!
Computer not recognizing the charging plug. Plugged it in o/n and it caught on fire the next day.
