Acer Aspire 5735 laptop Dead

Hi and hello to everyone...glad to be here in the forum, and would really like to ask for your help. I have my Acer Aspire 5735 laptop running as usual just last Nov. 11. Usually i directly plug it with main power supply outlet from my flat, without battery. Suddenly, the electric supply in our building went off, for about 20 minutes, since i was busy looking for a candle or flashlight, i was not able to plug it off from the main power supply outlet. Until, the electricity went back, then when i pust the "on" button of my laptop, it did not power on...plus there is yellow orange light blinking on the front left side of the laptop, maybe for about 3-4 times, then nothing happens, still no power, even one image in the screen, totally nothing. So, i used the power cycling practice where you hold the power button on for a minute while plug off to the main switch, then plug it in and power on, still nothing. It still doing flashing the same light afterward, nothing. So, i would really appreciate anyone who can share enlightenment for this same situation...

 

Welcome to the forum archerofthemorning.
Does your notebook start when on battery?
Was it connected to a power surge during the lights-off incident?

 

Try taking battery out then press power button for 20 seconds,then put battery back in see if it powers up.

 

1) Yes 'download', it works when battery puts on, but i notice, it wasn't charging at all, so, i guess, the laptop will soon die down once the battery already empty...
2) Yes 'download', it was plug when power turn off.

Would really appreciate if you can tell me what's wrong with my laptop, since this is where my work depends on...

 

Does the power brick (PSU) have any diode that shows that it is working correctly? There are two possibilities- one that the PSU died or almost died (i.e. doesn't provide the desired current and voltage) and two that the power circuit on the mobo got fried.
If I was to guess I'd say it's the PSU- it's really kind of hard to fry the mobo partially. Acer notebooks are popular so you should be able to test your notebooks with someone else's PSU a friend or family member may have it.
It doesn't have to some from the same notebook or be exactly the same- it has to have the same voltage and current and obviously Acer-type plug.
Replacement PSUs aren't expensive either buy it would be prudent to make sure it actually is the PSU before buying.

 

Thanks again "downloads", well, when the PSU is plug to a main power supply, the green light is flushing normal as it use to be...But, i will try to find same or almost equivalent for my laptop to test it.

One question though, that is confusing to me...I wonder if the power circuit is fried, would it be possible still to change it without changing the whole motherboard?

 

I don't think so but it all depends what went wrong- someone with a service manual and knowledge in electronic engineering would be more likely to answer your question after taking a look at the mobo.
