Acer r11 r3 series

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Here's the video guide on how to disassemble the laptop.

- First is to try your laptop if it will boot up without it's battery.
- Remove the battery off the laptop then connect just the AC adapter and see if it will boot up and will stay on.
- If the laptop will stay on with just the charger connected that means it's the battery that is faulty.
- But if the same problem will persist without the battery that could mean that the AC adapter is faulty.
- Try a different AC adapter that has the same voltage or the same charger that you have and see if that will work.
- If a different AC adapter will still not work I would suggest opening the laptop and reseat the RAM's.
- Remove them all for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure everything is seated properly.
- And lastly, do clean the cooling fans and apply new thermal paste on the CPU and GPU.
 
Unplug the battery and charger.
Press the power button for 20 seconds and release.
Plug in the charger.
Let me know if something comes up.
