Question

Power on problem Acer One 10

Mar 5, 2020 9:49AM PST

Hello everyone. A few days ago I tried to restart my Acer One 10 after hibernating it, but it kept remaining on the initial screen of the Acer logo. I then tried to force the shutdown and turn the computer back on, but seeing that it did not start again, I discharged the battery (pressing the power button, the low battery icon appeared) and recharged it, but it still does not turn on.

Is there a way to fix it without bringing my computer to the assistance?

The sure fix is to replace it. I see working models on Ebay for under 80 dollars which is the way since a repair counter starts at 150USD here.

Given the age I would replace the CMOS battery and give your battery and power button method one last try.

A question in advance. Given the CMOS battery is under a dollar, why would you not try that?

I can give it a try, but at this point, I'll probably take advantage to buy another laptop giving the age of my Acer (I bought it in 2015) and recover the data inside of it. (which is mainly university stuff) Thanks though.
