NO PC stated at all, 22 years OF PCs 1000s of models.
we can't guess PC, ok, and AGE matters.
charging problem but no problem told.
what does affected mean( smoke, burned chips, caps exploded)>?
step one is new battery.

that large battery life can be as low as only 1 year if abused,(ask for proof)
or read why at the battery makers web site, (facts)

the charger is a chip inside the PC on the mobo, need photo ask.?
the AC power pack creates 19 DC power to run the laptop with no big battery or with battery the charging chip goes active.
the first step on all PCs that act up is remove the silly old,
if the battery goes bad and shorts, the charging chip many overload the PC, so we remove the big battery first. the one that snaps off the bottom of your unstated PC,
does the PC run ok, now, yes, then buy a new battery,
or run on AC forever... (as many do (millions really)
not everyone uses a Laptop for mobility. ok.?
if still fails. see this,

is the PC dead, no statement all all if PC runs ok. at all.
if PC dead, run with out battery first (large one)
if PC is over 7 years old a coin cell RTC battery is due.
step 1: here, (ordered list)

    see here why laptop means near zero.
    see this?
    vast models. made.https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/su...

    my guess, is you have a bad battery.
    like 99% do posting here, that think they last 20 years, and never do.
    it's ok, we know they don't.

The 2 most common issues are: the battery, and the charger. There is usually an indicator that it is charging, often a little green LED. Look in the manual to see what the procedure is for troubleshooting. This is one of the difficult ones, because you'll need another charger to check, and laptop chargers usually run at over 15 volts, which is higher than most chargers, which usually run at 9 volts or less. If it's the battery, that's much more difficult to tell, as it might be internally shorted. If the sysytem is over 4 years old, I'd suspect the battery. See if you can find a local repair shop that can do a quick check. I have no idea what you mean by 'affected your motherboard'. If the motherboard is damaged, it is likely that the cheapest route is to just buy a new laptop, as the board is expensive, and it will require a couple of hours to replace.

Acer travelmate 8472 not switching on

Take out the battery and hook up the AC Adapter to it. Hook up the adapter to a working outlet. If the laptop still doesn't turn on then try another working AC Adapter. If the laptop doesn't turn on at this point then that means the motheboard is bad and would need to be replaced.

My cauzin Got Acer Aspire 5920 !! its charger stop working she buy another charger for it !! but due to inexperience she bought 24 volts instead of 18 volts !! after charging some time the laptop isn't...

Putting too much voltage into your laptop will cause a strain on the power regulating components and cause them eventually to fail and then you will have a dead motherboard.

My boyfriend was trying to charge my laptop and he used a cable that had higher voltage than the netbook allowed, we then heard a zapping noise real loud and than nothing and still nothing

Hello,

If your laptop is exposed to a very high current, there is not supposed to be any problem affecting the laptop, its only the charger that is supposed to be affected.

And a replacement of the charger is the solution to that.

If it goes beyond affecting the charger then The high voltage can affect only two (2) things on the laptop.
1. The battery,
2. The power panel in the laptop.

If it is the battery, To fix it, All you have to do is to get a replacement battery.

Shift the slides that are beneath the battery in the direction they are pointing to, then pull the battery back.

Replace it with the new battery you just got for it, charge it for a while, then turn it on.

If it is the power panel, the laptop will not come up at all.

To fix this, you have to unscrew the laptop from the bottom, you will see the port the charger is being plugged and the panel that is linked to the main mother board of the laptop.

Disconnect it, and apply a little force to remove the charging port of the laptop.

Replace it and reverse the process to reassemble the laptop.

Take care

if the password box is runing at startup bios when you press power button I think that problem belonged to inside the laptop, you must do maintenance in your laptop expertly inside the laptop on motheboard find to COMS battery and remove from motherboard during 24 hours after complete duration bring back into his place on motherboard , may be by using this way the bios password will be rest in Acer Laptop odels, but if the password run after runing windows like User Accout or Syskey .. you can see earlier answer we are alreay sloved in current site .. also click here to see this information ...

I Have an Acer Aspire laptop and evertime you plug in the charger it will show no signs it's connected and the laptop is now out of battery so it will not turn on at all. Even when my charger is plugged...

Please Please Please change your charger right away .. I Got 2 Acer laptop last week and both had same probelm ..if there would be any fluctuations in voltage from your adaptor it will fry up your laptop and you will be in big trouble. Please dont do any experiments on your adapter and change it right away. I Got one laptop last week and customer tried so many angles like you did and fried up his laptop's motheboard already.
Hope you will listen to my suggestion. new charger is not very expensive.
Good Luck !!

Acer 5020

I assume you get power go to your laptop

Try to reseat memory first.
if you have 2 memory, try to use 1 memory at 1 times.
if using 1 memory is working, try to put another memory.

if reseating memory isnot working, your motheboard could be bad.
