Acer Predator Series: PH315-55 Screen and Logo won't turn on

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 22:02:20 -0700

Laptop was connected to an external monitor. As I was looking at the external, I noticed the built-in screen slowly having a vignette effect, black from all 4 sides going towards the center. didn't really even reach the center and just froze.

I panicked, automatically chose to shut down using what I can see on the external monitor and removed everything I plugged into the laptop (charger, hdmi, keyboard and mouse). Even when everything was removed and shutdown, I noticed already that the keyboard and the other lights went off already and the screen still had the frozen screen for a couple seconds before it went totally black.

Now, I thought it was already time to replace the built-in screen itself BUT I noticed that even the LOGO behind the screen wouldn't turn on. So I thought that there is a loose cable or just got unmounted or something.

Currently using the unit with an external monitor since its the only way I can work using the laptop. I tried the thing where they said I had to press and hold the power button for like a minute or so, nothing. Also, when I try to check the display settings, the system cannot detect its own built-in monitor which made me think it just got loose or something

Am I thinking of the right thing? This is already not covered under warranty since this was purchased 2023. Do I just have to reseat the cable or is there a higher chance of the cable being damaged hence the need to replace it?

Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591G Disassembly: ACER Aspire Vn7-591G - where is the SSD?

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 14:22:56 -0700

My sister has an Acer VN7-591G laptop that won't boot (black screen, no output to HDMI)

She wants me to get the photos off her hard drive.

No problem I thought. I've popped out the HDD, but it is empty other than an old "iMovie Backup" directory.

Looking at the specs, it is supposed to be a dual HDD/SDD, so I assumed that the Windows installation and all her photos are on the SDD

However, there is no SSD in the machine! According to this guide:

https://www.myfixguide.com/manual/acer-a...

there should be an M.2 SSD on the bottom left of the motherboard. But that slot is EMPTY!!

How, if there is nothing but a few random files on the HDD was this machine ever booting? Is there somewhere else that Acer hide the SDD? I certainly can'y see anything...

It is so strange - it looks like it had an SSD (As the hard drive is empty), but its not there! What am I missing?!?

TIA

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58: Acer laptop only stays on while holding Windows key

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 13:45:35 -0700

My Acer laptop won't turn on with the power button. The only way to turn it on is by holding Windows + Space together, and it stays on only as long as I keep the Windows key pressed. The moment I release it, the laptop shuts off immediately. Could this be caused by a dead CMOS battery, or is it likely a faulty keyboard / motherboard issue?

Does ayone know if I ca replace the keyboard? Thanks!
