Given what you tell me, it is a good deal. It is not top of the line, but most people don't need that sort of machine for what they do. If it was me, I would go ahead and purchase it. You can always upgrade the RAM and the SSD at a later date.

After doing some research, the price seems about right. What amount of Ram does it have and what is the size of the storage. Is it SSD?

My question would be "What's the price point?" I own a Lenovo and for the uses I have it runs great. I do pretty much the same as you, light office, browsing etc. I've been using it for well over a year now and I haven't had any problems at all. It does the job I use it for. I bought it because...

I had come to that conclusion after doing more research. It never made any sense to me why it wouldn't power on from the battery. I've done several builds and never come across this issue. Thanks for all the advice.

Exactly. It will not boot from the battery and it was fully charged.

No brush on the vacuum and it never made contact with anything. Took your advice and ordered a service manual. The same with ESD. Always make sure to wear latex gloves. The one mistake I made was not disconnecting the battery.

That's just it. I didn't disconnect anything for that reason. As for the vacuum, it never touched any components. I kept it at least an inch away and just let it draw the birds nest of hair and dust as I used a cotton swab with a little alcohol. I've done this more times than I can remember and...

Disassembled. Then used a small vacuum to remove the dust and dog hair

My Acer Nitro 5 AN517-52 won't power up after cleaning fans. I get nothing to show that it's plugged in. I checked the power supply and it's fine. I'm drowning. I keep looking for a problem that I may have created but I don't see how I could. Could it be the keyboard?
