Predator Helios 300 (2018): Acer Laptop Keyboard Issue

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 09:21:10 -0700

Hello, I’ve some problems with my keyboard.

I have a Acer laptop that I purchased a couple of years ago and it does not store the L, K & spacebar keys while writing on documents.

I’ve to press those keys several times for it to work. I am a little bit confused, is it a mechanical problem? Or a software issue? Should I need to replace my keyboard? I am unable to fix the issue.

Any help should be appreciated.

Predator Helios 300 (2018): screen flashes, then turns off unless at specific angle

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 12:34:17 -0700

Device is used, so not sure what exactly caused this, but the screen will flicker and go out completely until its moved. When screen goes black on laptop, if a monitor is connected, it changes resolution to a point where it's not visible. Have tried to format it, and no luck.

Predator Helios 300 (2018): screw heads worn out

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 02:54:40 -0700

I normally clean my laptop frequently, but this time, when I tried to open it for a cleanup, the screw heads were worn. The screws used to hold the HDD drive had worn out. How do I remove it so that I can replace it with new ones? I did try using a bigger screwdriver and using a rubber band for grip. Even tried with a tape. Is there any way around?

So, around Christmas last year my laptop went kaput in the middle of using it. No warning, nothing. When plugged in the charging light does not turn on, and it isn't turning on at all. Have tried different chargers and a power flush or two, but can't get anywhere with it.

Predator Helios 300 (2018): Power button doesn't fully respond

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 14:19:32 -0700

I'm having issues with the power button for a couple of months now, I have taken my laptop to two individuals, one said it was the drives which clearly was not since the issue persisted, the second said it was a circuit that was broken and replaced it and yet the issue remained. I had mentioned to both of them I simply wanted to replace the key since I believe it has to do with the pressure or the contact. Since when this issue started I had to press hard and for a few seconds and it just turned into pressing it longer and longer to the point now I don't dare turning of my laptop and put it on sleep mode now. How do I replace the power button or could there be any other issue that I'm unaware of?
