Acer Aspire 5520

My acer aspire 5520 will not turn on. It is plugged in and I press the On button but nothing happens but a black screen.

  • halo324 Nov 25, 2008

    i closed a window and the same window kept opening again and again with out me pressing anything. i ctrl alt deleted so i could restart it. it never came back on so i unpluged it to let the battery die. when i pluged it back in the red light blinked like it always does when it isnt on. i pressed the power button and it turned green and it made noises like it does when it starts, the webcam even blinked like it usually does. the screan never comes on though. i put in a cd and it makes the same sound it always does, the music doesnt play and the screan never comes back.

Check if dvd drive will eject if not
if it doesnt - try another socket
if still gets nothing - change fuse in plug
if same - try another power adapter (preferably from same manufacturer and model)
If still doesnt get power try get new power supply unit from repair shop or get quote for cost to fix

Simply press the WiFi on/off key (it's the first key from left to right, between the "Power" button and the laptop's keyboard). A message should appear on the screen telling about the WiFi adpter's state (on or off).

ACER cracked screen..external monitor???

Hi there.
The keyboard toggle you are using is the correct one.
Sometimes you have to hit Fn + F5 a couple of times to stay on there is no real set time. Make sure Fn + F6 is on so the laptop screen stays on.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

Black screen after windows xp screen nothing else

Sometimes the function keys get depressed by accident and it takes away your display. Press the FN+F5 and FN+F6 three times each and see if your display comes back on.
