The solution to your problem lies in one of the following three areas:

1.) Your charger is faulty and is therefore not able to pass power to your laptops battery.

2.) The charging connector on the laptop has come loose from the contacts. Therefore a bad connection.

3.) Your battery is faulty.

I think possibility 2 is the most likely, although you will have to test possibility 3 by removing the battery and plugging in your charger and seeing if the laptop powers on.If it does power on then that rules out possibility 1 and 2 leaving a faulty battery.

SOURCE: Acer Extensa 5420-5687 laptop won't turn on

Okay, Here's the deal..... I recently had the same problems with my friends' Acer Extensa laptop and here's what I did to fix it. I narrowed the issue down to two culprits 1. Overheating, 2. Defective Motherboard. I have fixed the problem but I takes time, patience and some technical ability which may not be available to some. :( (Swapping out the motherboard MAY fix the problem but if the defect is in the manufacturing process then the problems could return). Here's how I fixed it... While in the process of disassembly I noticed a small electrolytic capacitor that had seemingly broken off and had become wedged between the frame (<ital>very lucky! this gave me the clue I was looking for!</ital>). This made me think that it had broken off the motherboard. I proceeded to disassemble the laptop and found the location of the missing capacitor (there are two located right next to each other on the board) and was able to re solder the capacitor back onto the motherboard (could it be a manufacturing processing defect thats causing these to break loose? ). Mine was broken off due to what looked like bad solder joints. Your capacitors could still be attached but have weak solder connections. Also while i had access to the motherboard, I used the opportunity to clean and re apply the heat sink compound to the CPU and thoroughly clean the fan vents. I then reassembled the laptop and EVERYTHING has been running fine now for the last 3 days. Total time was about 4hrs and it cost NOTHING to repair. GOOD LUCK :)

Acer extensa 5420 bios

Clean out the cooling fan/vents, etc. and try again. If the fan isn't turning, it won't boot up.
If that doesn't work, you may need to disconnect the power supply and battery and then hold down the power button for 30-60 seconds. This will discharge stored energy from your laptop. I'm not sure of the specifics, but this happens to mine every 12-18 months or so. Once you've done that, reconnect the charger and battery and try to power up again. It should work now.
If these steps don't fix it, you have serious problems.

What button do i press on my acer extensa 5235 to use a monitor instead of the laptop screen as it is smashed

1. Down near the botton left corner of your keyboard, you should see a blue colored "Fn" key.
2. Look at your top row of Function Keys F1-F12. Locate the one with a picture of a monitor on it. It is typically F5 or F7.
3. While Holding the "Fn" key, hit the F5 or F7 key. Give the laptop about 3 seconds to switch between modes.

That should switch the display over for you.

Battery Lifeline

Have you adjusted your power settings in your control panel? This is the only way to allocate how your laptop is using the battery power. Also, watching a DVD is going to take up a lot more energy then say surfing the internet.

My acer Notebook Does not switch on

Well you can reseat the RAM and check if that does not fixes the issue, it could be an issue with the system board . You can contact Acer support line, if the unit is under warranty you can have system board replaced.

Wont boot up. A/C connected, battery fully charged. Just flashes green light for 1 second when you press power on button.

Hi I am Vortash sorry to say that power supply fault seems to be the most likely answer to this .. and to be honnest with laptops that was 50% of the problems I fixed .. they are also quite exspensive retail so I tend to search on Amazon or Ebay for them .
I have had this problem with a faulty hard drive also it was shorted out so the computer just shut down .. whatevetr it turns out to be this is one for a skilled engineer as replacing components on a 12 layer multiple circuit requires special soldering equipment and conditions and a fair amount of dexterity and skill good eyesight and the patience of a God lol . you could try another hard drive yourself that isn't to difficult if you can borrow or buy a cheap one .. and you can always get a caddy for it after and us it as a secondry drive on the usb if your own isn't faulty .. I hope this helps Vortash
