 Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2007 1:25 am Post subject: Acer Aspire 5000 problem. |
 |
|
| I got this Acer Aspire 5000 laptop that broke so I sent it to acer and they said worked fine except that the dc jack is broken, and it would cost me 500 dollars for them to fix it. screw that. so for a few months, its been a really expensive paperweight because Acer killed the battery after holding onto it for 3 months. I recently got a new battery for it, fully charged. I turn it on and it turns on for about 3-4 seconds and then just shuts itself off, regardless of what I do, which is either entering the bios or just letting it continue the POST. any ideas on how to fix this? Also, I bought a new dc jack for it, but haven't put it in yet. I don't want to open the laptop up until this problem's fixed, unless the broken jack is the problem. but it worked fine before I sent it to Acer. |

What were the symptoms when it "broke"? You are introducing a second unknown
with the new battery. I would repair the DC jack and see what you have then.
