Ok, 10 year old laptop
step1 , as always remove the old dead shorted huge battery first.
run now? it will on AC for every if you want.
Led Glowing tell not much its just and LED, so dont look at them if on, unless and LED blinks codes. ok?
what matters is power, power is first. no power no joy, ever.
so out the battery now.
Put in a new RTC coin cell battery next 7 year life rated you are 3 years past that at 10 years old, (end of useful life that)
next is fans, , ok fan is on.
next is what, TEXT got TEXT ON SCREEN>? ANY THING??
I guess ZERO SCREEN anything of any kind>.
we next use a flash light, this PC has crummy , CCFL back lamp tubes that when dead screen goes, dead, as most have this old.
only few never used laptops last 10 years old.
so with the flash light (dark room) at an angle shin the LCD
see data, now on the screen, yes, that is a DEAD CCLF.
on ebay you see them selling new CCLF screens for this PC.

my bet the CCFL are dead. as most are this old.
All laps this old fail in this order,
BIG battery goes bad or shorts.
COIN cell dead.
CCLF dead ( ended about year 2010 , LED back lamps began)
HDD dead at 5 to 10 years old.

this is all Expected. all from carbon14 dating a PC, I can say that.
yours is 2008 made.

SOURCE: Acer aspire 5570z white screen

its either going to be a problem with the lcd, inverter or output from the motherboard probably.

Best thing to do is to try a different lcd with a different lcd cable, then if that doesn't work, then try to get a different inverter, if that doesn't work then you'll know for sure its the output coming from the motherboard.

Alot of times the LCD's go bad but the lcd cables go bad cause they are flimsy and the wires break inside.

Look on Ebay cause you can easily get these parts cheaper then most places.

SOURCE: Acer Aspire SA80 197Z Power Up

Well, the best thing to do is to take it to a computer technician to get it checked up. This is the reason why you want somebody knoweledgeable:
1. It may be a problem with the Power Supply Unit (PSU).
2. Could be a problem with the power button (Internal failure) and to check it, you have to manually jump the motherboard at the power button connector.
3. It could be also a motherboard failure (probably caused by a power surge the day before it failed).

If you want to check for the a solution for youlsef, check online on how to do a check up on the three items I mentioned before. Good luck (Please leave a comment if this answer helped you somehow).

Sir, form the symptoms I believe that the Battery is completely dead, the system is unable to identify the battery. If possible try checking the battery with a similar model, and the the system should be all set to go.

My laptop is acer aspire 5535. It was working well, but it can no longer show anything on screen even when it shows to be powered on and running. The screen is black, I have tried to clear the CMOS but it...

Either of two things.
1. The screen is damaged, and needs to be replaced. You could visit any PC store around you and get a new one fixed.
2. The screen is still ok, but the connection from the PC to the screen is severed.if this is the case, you could take it to a repairer, who would check it out - in fact, this should be your first step, before concluding on the replacement option - and get it reconnected.
I hope this was helpful?

Good Morning. I wonder if anyone could help me solve my problem I have a Accer Aspire 5535 and its around 2yrs old on windows Vista. The screen stopped lighting up and then on Random days it would...

Hi,

This could be one of two things, it is either the inverter (this generates high voltage to run the back light) or it could be the back light itself.

As you have suggested, it could just be a loose wire or cable.

Replacing the inverter is relatively straightforward as it is located at the bottom edge of the LCD screen behind the plastic case. The backlight is usually part of the LCD screen and you would usually be better replacing the screen entirely.

To get at either of these components to check cables/wires etc, you will need to disassemble the screen case of the laptop, this is fairly simple if you are comfortable with disassmbling laptops.

A brief overview of the screen replacement process is below, instructions 1-4 show how to remove the case to access the inverter and cables:

1. Power off your laptop. Turn the laptop upside down so that you can see the bottom side of the laptop's case.

2. Depress the battery release latch and lift the battery and laptop ac adapter out of the laptop. Flip the computer back over and open up the LCD screen to a 90 degree angle.

3. Pull off each of the rubber buttons located along the edges of the Acer Aspire 5535 Screen. Remove each of the screws underneath the buttons with the Phillips-head screwdriver, remove keyboard.

4. Insert your fingers underneath the cover of the Acer Aspire 5535 Screen. Work your fingers around the edges of the cover to unlock it from the screen. Pull the cover off the screen and set it aside.

5. Locate the inverter board at the bottom edge of the Acer laptop screen . Disconnect the cables at the right and left end of the board that connect to the Acer Aspire 5535 Screen. Remove the screw holding the inverter board in place and then lift the board off the LCD screen.

6. Tilt the screen slightly towards you until you can see the strip of tape holding the video cable. Pull off the tape and then disconnect the video cable from the laptop case.

7. Remove the Acer Aspire 5535 LCD screen from the case. Set the new screen onto the case and reattach the video cable and tape strip. Position the replacement inverter board at the bottom of the screen and attach the screw.

8. Reconnect the inverter board's cables. Pop the plastic cover onto the Acer Aspire 5535 LCD screen and reconnect the screws. Set the rubber buttons over the screws. Reconnect the battery.

9. Turn on the laptop. Wait for the manufacturer's logo to appear on the screen to ensure the display was replaced properly.

My acer aspire 5535 screen keeps going blank

I had this problem. Laptop has been running for 24 hours and not a problem :-)

>Visit http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads.html
>Once on the website, select the Aspire 5535
>Then use the drop down and select "Bios Update for Vista" and select v1.04
>Once download is complete, extract to a temporary folder (eg create a folder in program files and extract there).
>Once this is down, go to the folder and open:
>ATI folder
>x86 folder

Ensure all other applications are closed.

>then run the CP2A_104 application.

Let this complete, the system then should reboot.

Once your back on, you should be good to go. This is a reminder, this may not work on all systems but it did on mine. You do this at your own risk and I accept no responsibility for any problems occured. If in doubt, refer to the Acer support line.

I wish you all the best as I know how much of a pain in the arse this problem is.
