    so one of my friends broke the power plug in on his acer aspire 5251 -1513. He asked me for help, so i disassembled the thing and super glued the power plugin back to the chassis. I then realized that one of the two connectors on the power thing was broken off as well. I took the plugin back off and soldered the wire back on. when i stuck the battery back in and plugged it in i got the usual orange charging light as well as another faint blue LED :confused: . i attempted to power on the laptop and it didn't do anything. I tried taking the battery out and unplugging it and holding the power button, but the problem is still occurring. The charging light eventually turned off so i assume the battery is full. If anybody has any advice it would be greatly appreciated as i haven't really messed with an acer before.
