Acer Spin 713: Why isn't replacement battery recognized?

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 12:01:32 -0700

I've tried several replacement batteries and none of them will boot up after installation. I was able to get each of them to work by installing them with the charger plugged in BUT, if you sign out or power it off it's back to square one.. no recognition of the battery and no boot up. FYI, I've tried after market and OEM batteries with the same result. Does anyone have a solution or explanation?

Acer Chromebook C732: What could cause the USB-C port on my device to burn out?

Wed, 20 Mar 2024 10:36:29 -0700

Is there a specific circumstance or underlying issue that would cause a USB-C port to break in this way? The damage seems only to be sustained from the port, and there does not seem to be any damage to the board itself, so I'm wondering if there could be an outside factor.

I thought I'd update this post since I seem to be running into this issue again. I should add some details that I didn't think to add prior. The devices I've seen this happen to are from 2018 and have been using an official Acer OEM charger. I've eliminated the possibility of the outlets being over or undervolted. I have gathered that this is either an issue with the chargers or the actual laptops themselves.

I have examined the damaged devices several times, and none of the chips are visibly damaged. I have also replaced the chargers any time this issue has occurred. At this point any insight is greatly appreciated.

Acer Chromebook: Acer Chromebook screen replacement with an iPad

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 17:21:42 -0700

Crazy thought…..

I would like to connect my 2019 iPad Air to my 2017 Acer Chromebook. I would like to use my Chromebook as a portfolio/case/external keyboard. Has anyone ever done this or made an attempt?

The iPad and Chromebook have similar sized screens therefore they would fit together with little modification.
I am puzzled as to how I would connect the two with a simple Apple proprietary Lightning Cable in order to still have the perks of an iPad.
How do I get the keyboard and battery to communicate?

This would essentially repurpose the Chromebook into a LineDock or janky Magic Keyboard. Thank you in advance.

Acer Chromebook: Sandisk video has no sound on Chromebook

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 08:12:49 -0700

I put some videos on an external sandisk drive. When I play them on my old laptop the sound is there. When I plug the sandisk into my chromebook the video will play, but there is no sound. I reformatted the sandisk and tried again, same problem. I just checked and I can play sound from youtube videos on the CB so it isn't something silly like the sound being turned down.
