Acer laptop 4520 series turns on but monitor stays black

I have tried everything including taking out battery but NOTHING WORKS

  • debisawesome Jun 10, 2009

    Power adapter is not even 4 months old as the original one went out.

    This laptop drives me NUTS, I don't like Acer, but using it because I am letting my son use most of the parts to my Dell pc including a 19" monitor.

    Seriously, I can just scream!!

    but thanks for the suggestion

My Acer aspire 4520 windows vista laptop is locked. can someone helph me? to change my user name and password. I forgot my password.

Hi there, this may work, try this.

Take off laptop battery, remove power cord, turn laptop upside down.
Just take off screws on the covers you see, which let you see HDD, Memory,Wireless card,.... ,
take off the cover or check on line for service manual for your specific model on how to remove the plastic cover/ covers, which is covering the CMOS battery which is some time wrapped up with yellow tape. Just remove the battery by holding on the white connector which attached to the motherboard with black and red wires. Gently pull from the motherboard.

Now without the CMOS battery, connect power cord and turn on the laptop, it should turn on. Now turn off , remove the power cord, check voltage on battery , it should measure very close to 3volt (2.5 to 3.0 volt), otherwise get a new one, connect the battery, put back covers, and now you set a new password.

I have a acer 4520 laptop and it will not turn on. I purchased a new adapter and it will not turn on still. when I plug the adapter in the battery light will not turn on

The problem is with the plug inside of your laptop. If the light on the adapter is on (if there is one), but the light on the laptop is off, then the internal wiring is either damaged or loose. You can try to open the case and examine the wiring (only if you are a DIY type). Otherwise, take it to a computer store and have them take a look.

Acer Travelmate 4060. Dead. Flashes power/battery led once when I hit the power button then nothing

Try removing the battery and plugging the machine in as if you were going to charge it, then try starting it up.

If it doesn't start up, check the connections on the adapter. If everything looks fine then theres a possibility that you have a broken adapter.

My aspire 4520 will not turn on.Battery is good & the green led light comes on but not the power pack light, but still won't turn on. Have tried taking battery out unplugging power to reset everything...

check the power plug as it may have thrown a fuse in that circuit try a power plug you know works( plug in a lamp in to check it)

Acer 4520 woun't turn on

More than likely it's the motherboard.

You can try resetting the bios by unplugging the cmos battery and the main battery for 5 minutes.

But it's a long shot.

Acer 4520 Power up for 1 second and turns off

Can you hear the system fan running? If the fan fails, the PC shuts down itself to protect the processor from FRYING.
