Gateway NV52: Why won't my laptop turn on?

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 01:48:25 -0700

I am having a hard time turning my laptop on recently. I have tried multiple times to power my laptop by simply pressing but also holding down the power button. I have also attempted to take out the battery and leave it out for a period of time but nothing seems to work.

Acer Aspire V5: No Access to ACER ASPIRE V5 471 Bios (Operating System Not found)

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 23:44:12 -0700

I was planning to reinstall Windows 8.1 on my laptop. I did by using a usb flash drive by using the legacy bios boot mode because it will not boot from it on uefi. It Installed perfectly but every time it started up it will be in legacy bios. 2 days after I tried to start it up by came up with the message os not found. I have tried f2,f8, f10 and f12 neither have worked. I cannot access recovery. I hope there is a solution to this as soon as possible because I need my computer back by next week

Acer Aspire: My Acer Aspire E1-531 suddenly won't power on?

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 00:36:47 -0700

I have an Acer Aspire E1-531. It's only 1.5 years old. Won't power on, lights that used to light when the charger is plugged in, don't light now.

It was working fine then got the 20% battery warning and while plugging in the charger, it powered off and will not power back on. The port for the charger is right next to the power button and I may have been pushing the power button while trying to plug in the charger.

Tried resetting it (took out battery and held power button for 30 secs) and I took it to Office Depot where they tested it with a different charger (with and without the battery in) to no avail.

When it dies, I will charge it until the icon on the front shows charged, but it still won't turn on. Sometimes randomly it will turn on, but then it won't anymore. It has been fully charged for days now but refuses to boot up. Beyond frustrating!!! Please help!
