Acer Spin 3 SP314-54N: Acer spin 3 no power solid blue light then flashing orange

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 19:46:23 -0700

I have an acer spin 3 that suddenly won't turn on anymore. When plugged in, it's a solid blue light then 18 seconds later it flashes orange 1 time then goes back to solid blue. I have already tried holding the battery reset button as mentioned many times by other people and also disconnected battery and drained all power. I checked and my ac adapter and its fine putting out 19v. One weird thing I noticed is if I remove the cmos connector and hold the battery reset button and power button down for like 10 seconds then release and plug the cmos connector back in, the laptop fans spin and keyboard leds come on but then the laptop powers back off after 5 seconds. Cmos battery does show 3v.

Acer Spin 3 SP315-51-757C: Why is my touchpad not working?

Wed, 01 Sep 2021 04:43:34 -0700

Today I turned on my laptop (Windows 10) and for some reason I couldn’t see my cursor anywhere and when I moved my touchpad nothing would move. When I plug in my USB mouse, the cursor comes up and I can use my mouse to move it, but the touchpad still isnt responding. I made sure that the touchpad setting is on, restarted my laptop and when I tried to update the driver for the touchpad, nothing was there apart from a few mouse settings. Ive tried the Fn buttons as well so I dont know what the next step from here is.

Acer Spin 3 Series: Not Charging, No Power

Sun, 07 Jan 2024 21:43:01 -0700

I have an Acer Spin 3 Model Number: N16P9

SP315-51-37E7

What can be wrong with mine? I have the orange light lit when I have it plugged in, but no blue light which would signify power to the laptop. I've checked the cord and have 19.4 volts to the end of the pin. Something is not allowing it to have power. What can be wrong?

The battery is almost dead. Is there any way to charge it?

Is there a way to take the HDD out and put it into another laptop so I can get all my info off it?

#(s) 2 & 3 is my biggest worry right now as I've got all my Income Tax stuff on it and I need to file ASAP.

Acer Spin 3 SP315-51-757C: Why do my computer lights not flash?

Wed, 22 Dec 2021 18:30:15 -0700

Both my blue and orange lights on my Spin 3 aren’t flashing anymore. Usually they flash. I had some water damage with it, so that might be the problem. I have reset the battery many times now and that makes the orange light turn on, but the laptop screen doesn’t. I don’t here any fan noises either. The water spilled on the front of my laptop and not the back of it (I was on a plane and the water bottle was loosened) so that might be an advantage. I see dust and it looks dry so that might be good.

Fri, 28 May 2021 10:56:08 -0700

My backspace key is wonky! It’s moving up and down (left and right motion sorta) when I type. I was trying to clean it because for some reason my when I tried to delete just one letter in between a word it’d delete the whole word or two letters instead of the individual one I wanted so I began to take it off, my laptop is an Acer and I had/have no idea if the keys are able to come up so I need serious help!!!

How do I fix my backspace key so it’s not moving and stays still when I type.

Acer Spin 3 SP315-51-757C: Does anyone have some good pictures of the power button

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 14:35:44 -0700

I have a Acer Spin 3 SP315-51 with an i5 in it that has a broken power button.

Does anyone know how it is supposed to look, or if there is a second piece to this thing? the button on the board still works and can turn the device on and off.
