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 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 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.

Where can I order a replacement board? My son pulled the Type-C cord out in a weird angle, and seems to have broken the port, it will no longer charge, and there is no indication that the charger is connected. I tried the charger on my Lenovo's, and it worked, I tried my Lenovo chargers on the Acer and it didn't work. Battery is confirmed good.
