Acer Extensa 4420: My computer turns off right after it turns on.

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 05:19:13 -0700

My Acer Extensa 4420 turns off shortly after it powers on. There are not any signs of beeping, or lights that seem bad. I've re-applied thermal paste, but that does nothing. It does the same thing no matter what power adapter i use, so is there another thing i could try? It has 2gb of DDR2 RAM, (Upgraded) 500GB HDD.

Laptop saya waktu di nyalakan langsung mati gatau kenapa awalnya updating windows tiba tiba muncul tulisan restart dan terus berulang seperti itu terus tanpa berhenti setelah restart mati terus nyala lagi dan updating windows lagi lalu restart lagi berulang kali seperti itu

Indonesian -> English translation:

Title: Why does my laptop immediately shut down when I turn it on?

My laptop immediately shuts down when I turn it on. I don't know why. It started updating Windows, but then suddenly a restart message appeared and kept repeating itself over and over again. After restarting, it shuts down, then turns back on, updates Windows again, and then restarts again.

Acer Extensa: Acer Extensa 4420 Computer not booting + LCD problems

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 20:02:47 -0700

I recently purchased this device at a garage sale for a grand total of $3. It is an older Vista laptop, and I mainly purchased it for tinkering and messing around with it. However, it's got me stumped with its booting problem. When I press the power button (see attached video), the drives spin up, the power light comes on, fan spins for a second, and the drive light blinks. Then, after a few seconds, everything goes dark, before coming back up and doing the whole thing a second time. The LCD shows absolutely no signs of life.

Things I've tried:

Plugging in an external monitor

Booting without the hard drive

Using each of the two sticks of RAM individually

Booting with only battery and only power cable

Repasting the CPU + cleaning out 15 years worth of dust

Shining a flashlight on the display (in case backlight wasn't working)

Booting with a boot DVD in the DVD drive

Booting without the DVD drive

Booting without RAM

Booting with only known good RAM

I successfully transplanted both the RAM and HDD into another working laptop and everything worked spectacularly. The hard drive appeared to have a corrupted copy of Vista installed; it would boot a "Windows failed to start" screen and both the "Start normally" and "Repair installation" options resulted in a blue screen. I installed Ubuntu on the drive and the install performed without any errors. Both sticks of RAM are recognized and have the correct values.

Also, I noticed the LCD has some dark pixels (see attached photo), even though it's not getting power. I'm not sure if this is a sign of a destroyed LCD or just a minor problem. If it wasn't for the powering problem, I would guess the LCD was just bad.

I'm kind of at my wit's end here. I don't know if the issue has something to do with the motherboard, the CPU (although I've heard that's pretty rare), or something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you need any more information, just ask!
