i was happily working away on my aao the other day all charcging etc fine on the mains at work. i came home used it on battery - and when it started getting low i plugged it in ... this is where the trouble began... the charging light does not illuminae and the aao continues to discharge. i have not been inside it since last november where i did the simple ram upgrade... anyone have any ideas? ac adapter seems ok....

 

I have the same problem can anypne help?

 

Weirdly - last night i plugged it in - no leds lit at all and left it plugged in all nite - woke this morning and the green battery charged led was on. i then unplugged it bought it downstairs plugged it in and lowe and behold the mains power not working again???? please can anyone help?

 

All i know is mine had a similar problem,,And The guy at the computer store said it was the motherboard.
He warranty`d it and now it wont stay on for more then a minute with out shuting itself off.
If i cant figure it our soon,,,Im smashing it against a wall :lol: :lol:
With any luck it will be something easy.

try the following:
check ac adapter
check socket
check mother board conection
check battery
try different charger
smash it to bit with a sludge hamer
end your live
take it to acer
give bill gates all your money

 

Install the Bios again with the built in Bios recovery.

But I didnt tried this one, cause I still have my warranty, if you want to gamble.. but they say it works!
I want them to replace my AAO, I just bought it last January.

 

This was due to faulty psu

 

I'm starting having the same problem, and my girlfriend has had this problem for a while (purchased in July 2008, August 2008). Sometimes it stops working and starts working again just as miraculously.. I just measured the output when it's not working: 0,15V.. Which to me proves it is not a problem with the computer itself.

I'm afraid many people will have the same problem..
