aspire e13 acer blank screen

Really coming to the end of my bloody tether with laptops. Only got this a few months ago.

Screen is black but blue power is on. It's such a flimsy machine.

I read about taking battery out and holding power for a minute. Took out all screws but this appears to have a non removable case..

So I realised about the pinhole battery reset hole? But a wire down there and took a couple mm off it.

Anyway still not working .

What else can I try? Can I actually take the back off to a)remove 2nm of bloody wire b) remove the battery?

I've got deadlines coming up and work saved on the flipping thing.

    I managed to get the back off. Took out the round lithium battery but the laptop still powered on (black screen) so I guess that's not the actual battery.

    Anhthubg else I can do with the back off?

    good luck with the repair now you have opened the case.
    All you did was remove the BIOS battery

    I disconnected the main battery too. No luck required. Opening the case is irrelevant. Did with my old laptop and still got refund. BEST WISHES STALKER

  • Why do people use stupid laptops, get a proper desktop tower for proper work. You are obsessed with laptops

    Is this serious advice? We are having similar problems with a new Acer Aspire ES15 laptop.

    has it been plugged into a tv?

    press power on button for 5 to 10 seconds with battery and case intact and power lead removed, if that doesn't work return it to the retailer or use the warranty

    No its not serious ;)

    What kind of problem are you having?
    When you turn it on do you see anything on the screen at all? Any text or anything?
