Acer 4520 Power up for 1 second and turns off

The problem is with this acer 4520-5582. It turns on for 1 second and turns off. The battery charge indicator works and indicates when the battery is charging or when fully charged. The screen is always black or blank. I removed the hard disk and replaced the ram with the old one removed for an upgrade (a long time ago). So it is not RAM nor Hard Disk. The CAPS and NUMBER lights blink for 1 second also when turning on. If I keep pressing the power button after a while it may stay on for a few seconds, then turn off. Tried with and without battery. Any Help???

    was a solution or fix found for this?



    exact same problem, the system fan starts up, the cd drive light flashes and beeps as well just before it shuts itself down again.

    i was told about 2 months ago that part of my motherboard was slightly burnt out, but they said they cleared it up best they could and it should be ok, if it is completely burnt out i assume that the laptop is dead, which is annoying as it's in great condition and only owned for about a year and a half!

    Sounds like a motherboard problem. What happens if you disconnect the battery and only hook up the ac adaptor and turn on the laptop, does it stay on then?

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

Pc acer 4520 problem

Try to clean the Battery contacts using a pencil Eraser. Also, check if Acer has released any BIOS update or Battery check utility. Try using any other compatible battery and check if the same issue persists.

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 acer aspire won't power up

Hi,
Try to connect your PC with the battery on the power outlet if it lights and charge normally. If the lights still orange, try to open the hard disk case and pull it out then try to put it in place again. If still doesn't go, try the memory card and clean it.
But I suspect that the battery has been overly charged. Try to look for another battery of the same model if it works with another and new battery.
Thanks

My Acer Aspire 4520-5582 PC Notebook dosn't turn on. All that appears is a blank screen what do i do?

it could be a few different issues. 1st off, i advise that you try to turn it on while it's plugged into the wall and the battery is in. if it turns on, then shut it down again and leave it alone for a few hours to let the battery fully charge. if it doesn't work, then take out the battery and turn it on while it's plugged into the wall. if it turns on, you've probably got a bad battery. if not, then it's an internal issue. most likely a power supply.

if it's your power supply, google your particular computer model and how to take it apart. carefully do so, and when you remove the power supply, order a new one. i'd advise doing the same if it ends up being simply your battery. just go to the acer website and order a new battery to fit your particular model.

good luck!

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.
