Acer Aspire 5920 power fix
As mentioned in a comment on "Dead Computer - extra" DaBoss's son's Acer failed. He just brought it in and we tried two different transformers, no success - no blue light, no charging light. Unplugged the battery, left the power in - still no success.
He didn't want it to go back to Acer as last time it took 3 months to fix. Should I call up the local computer support or a friend of his who runs a computer IT company further away?
I wondered out-loud whether others had experienced the same problem and come up with a fix. This was pooh-poohed, but I checked anyway and found this little nugget of information.
Out came the battery and cable, on went my finger to the power button for 30 seconds, back in went the power cable and on came the computer. Powered it back down, popped the battery back in and both lights appeared.
Pathetic.

Interestingly, I had an Acer the other day that suddenly didn't want to turn on any more.
I was using it, I put a CD in the drive and turned it off. I went to turn it back on again and… nothing. Won't turn on for anybody. I plugged and unplugged cables, tried removing the battery, even tried the pressing the power button for 30 seconds. Nothing.
Tried it again an hour later, and it worked perfectly. And it still works perfectly, even right now. WTF?
Still, the Acer laptop I gave me sister has a habit of randomly turning itself off when in use. And, worse, sometimes Windows will just lock up for five minutes, and then it wakes up and carries on as normal. Again, WTF?
In short, you get the impression that Acer laptops are just crap.
…and then there's my Acer laptop, which is very nice and seems to work perfectly. Never had so much as a glitch with it. Then again, it's an expensive one, so…
I think no matter the manufacturer you can always end up with a lemon... it just seems some manufacturers are more lemon-prone than others :-)
