Acer Spin 5: Replaced Battery - Battery not working anymore

Wed, 26 Jun 2019 13:17:40 -0700

Hi folks,

Like the title says, I replaced the battery of my Acer Spin 5, with a new, original one.

But the new one was not really recognized, the battery LED was just flashing orange instead of just shining. I thought, Ok, maybe thats the way it is for a fresh new one,

but it just flashes (for hours) and at some point just stops flashing, but it is not charged at all.

The Laptop itself is working fine - as long as the power is plugged in. And he recognizes the battery with 0% charge. And that never changes.

There is also a battery reset button, which I pressed for 1 second, 2, 4 (which should be the right number), 10, 20 seconds ... with no success.

So I replaced it back to my old battery - which is indeed charging and the OS gives me accurate numbers - but he also can't use the battery anymore - meaning nothing works without plugged in powercable.

As a last hope I allready removed the cmos battery ... with no success.

Does anyone has an idea what else I could do, besides sending it to Acer?

Cheers,

Lukas

Acer Spin 5: Battery not quite fitting ….

Sun, 26 Nov 2023 07:50:30 -0700

Bought a replacement battery for my Spin 5, 13”.

Same battery number, was able to install and power up, charge and calibrate the battery.

Problem with the laptop not closing with the new battery installed. Only difference on the old and new battery are 2 small tabs on the lower side of the new battery, that seems to prevent the bottom cover from properly snapping together. Screws work but small bulges in the cover.

Wondering if I should cut off the extra tabs on the new battery so the bottom cover will snap properly into place? Bottom tabs don’t seem to secure the battery in any way.

I take all 12 screws out of the back but it wont come apart. It seems like chrome strip is holding it together. I don't want to damage it.

Acer Spin 5: Why did applications stop opening on my Acer Spin 5?

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 10:23:35 -0700

Downloaded applications such as Kakaotalk and Discord suddenly stopped opening up when I double click / run it as an administrator. These apps were running without problems a couple days ago. I have not made any updates or changes to my laptop.

When I double-click on the applications, the cursor wheel spins and then stops, but no application is opened.

Laptop powers on, keyboard lights up, stays for 3 seconds, then goes off. The screen doesn't show any display. What's happening? How to fix this?

I've tried replacing the battery, Uninstaller the SSD and reinstalled it. Nothing worked.
