It looks like it is a motherboard problem. check if your system will boot to safe mode by tapping F8 as soon as you turn on the computer.

    Just got one with the same problem, but it was not the original problem. first it would get so far in bios or windows splash then die. but now the same problem as you. originally my fan was working, now it does not spin up at all. I am going to try the 30 fan fix first, but if it fails it could be the Motherboard or the CPU, I cleared a lot of dust out of the fan whenI first got it.

My laptop wont turn on

You may have a RAM problem. Try reseating the RAM modules, if this does not fix your problem, remove the RAM modules and take then to your friendly computer repair shop and get them to test the RAM for you.

Simply press the WiFi on/off key (it's the first key from left to right, between the "Power" button and the laptop's keyboard). A message should appear on the screen telling about the WiFi adpter's state (on or off).

Glad if I could help!

Acer 5520 turns off randomly

can you check to see if the fan is moving, it can over heat and shuts down when the processor gets hot you would not feel it though case. also make sure the vents are clean as this is were the fan blows cooler air over to cool the processor-s down.

My acer aspire 5520-5334 won't start

Pull The Battery... Unplug The AC Adapter....
Press and Hold The Power On Button For 30 Seconds...
Reinsert The Battery, Plug In Ac Adapter... Attempt to Power On..

Also Try Removing The Battery And Powering Up Using The Power Cord Alone.....

If Still No Power.... Remove and Reseat The Memory Modules...

Still No?

You'll Next Need To Check To See If The DC Jack Is Faulty...

If It's Faulty, You'll Need To Desolder It, Clean The Board, Resolder a New One ON....

If Still No Power...

Check The Heatsink/Fan Assembly...it might be clogged...

Still No?

Possibly Faulty Video / GPU Chip....Or a Shorted Out Motherboard..
