Acer Spin 5 N17W2: Screen turns on and off repeatedly not allowing me to use the laptop

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 23:31:12 -0700

After a minor accident, the power button of my laptop screen got pushed in. I was unable to turn on my laptop but it was charging. So, I got it fixed from a local computer repair place. They said the switch as missing and replaced it with a Travelmate switch they had. It was sort of precariously put back in place but at least I was able to turn on and use my laptop. But after a few weeks of irregular use, the outside button started to slip in and I was unable to turn it back on. After pushing the button a little more, the laptop screen lit up with a dull black colour and went back off in 2 seconds. This is my problem right now. The screen simply keeps lighting u (dull black) and turns off repeatedly with a gap of abut 5 seconds. Unable to make it work or turn it on. Can you help me identify the problem?

Acer Spin 5 N17W2: Problem with charging the labtop

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 06:43:04 -0700

Background information:

I have a acer spin 5 and around 1 year ago I was charging it on a table with the chargers wire on the floor my brother came running and tripped on the wire and flinged the labtop across the room I sent the labtop to be fixed at acer in Dubai and they fixed the charger outlet inside the labtop for 400dhs / 130$ … But I never sent them the charger which had been damaged ( the pin got slightly bent ) but it continued to work after they fixed the laptop and sent it back

Fast forward to today:

Whenever I put my charger into the laptop I have to push very hard into the laptop for it to start charging and whenever I release the pressure the charger goes a bit out and stops charging … I opened my laptop from the bottom and took out the back case and I plugged the charger in without the back case and now it works just fine -.- idk what is going on I dont know if the problem is from the laptops itself or the charging cable which has a slightly bent pin

Pls helppppp <33
