THANK YOU SO MUCH! I ALMOST BOUGHT A NEW LAPTOP! THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS BECAUSE ALL THE OTHER ONES LED ME TO THIS ONE AND IT WORKED! I WAS SO SCARED TO UNSCREW THE BOTTOM AND OPEN IT UP BUT IM SO GLAD I DID!
@@joy_sings4218 When does it turn off? Are you using it when it turns off or does it turn off during startup? What can you see on the screen before it turns off?
Hello first of all greetings to you from poland dear friend, I again had a problem with an acer aspire model 5560 based on amd, could not boot up just turned on and off and so on all the time, nothing almost had to write it off, but I found your video, and I did as you exactly the same grandfather came to life and serves already for a year I changed the thermal pads and paste and thoroughly cleaned the entire cooling and even washed the entire pcb laptop, in alcochol iso,. After assembling the laptop is beautifully alive less heats and has a stable temperature, as well as the graphics core and the processor, and I removed the disk drive and gave the ssd 512 gb is enough for me, and I currently have 8 gb ram, once again, thanks for a cool video,
Search on the underside of the motherboard for two tiny pads next to "JCMOS". Short the pads to clear the BIOS. Then, if you can, replace the RTC battery with a fresh one if it is over 3 years old. Good luck!
Yep, a cheapskate might check the old CMOS batt & if voltage is still good (3-sh volts) & realistically the laptop's unlikely to be used 5 o 10 yrs later then I'd pop back in. Depends if you have replacements to hand etc
I always remove and place it from the other side where the small metal lip is. This lip can be pushed a little away from the battery so it pops up. Placing it back is by lowering it behind the plastic lips and pushing it down over the metal lip. It will click in.
Hi All, My lap top works well but for one section and that is the Blue Tooth section. I recently installed windows 8 and now the blue tooth section tells me that it is there but will not or can not locate other blue tooth devices and my blue tooth devices can not locate my computer. Does anyone have a fix for this problem. Please help if you can . Cheers have a great day further Carl.
Thank you very much, your videos helped me a lot. Could you please re upload the video in the description? My PC worked for one day after the other tutorials but now it turns on, the Acer logo appears, the screens flashes white and then it turns off. I think the video in the description relates to the problem that I am having now.
That video would not be the one you need. That video would apply if the computer turns off before the Acer logo. If your issue appears after the logo, then we will assume its a hardware or Windows issue. Unfortunately, we lost most of our Acer videos recently. Use this video instead; ua-cam.com/video/2Hh1wIS9NDo/v-deo.html However, you will need to press F2 instead of the one in the video :)
@@PC_Monkey Hello, I did change the UEFI to Legacy, it didn't work, I changed back to UEFI and when it turned on, it started troubleshooting windows. I chose to to repair "initialization problem" (or something like that) in the menu and after sometime it worked until I turned it off. Now it always flashes white and turns off even when I enter in BIOS pressing F2. And thank you very much, your videos are very useful
Upon pushing the power button, the power light indicator blink once and goes off immediately. I did some removing the battery, push the power button, the same I did for the charger and nothing happens. The led power indicator blinks then off at once. Thanks for the help.
@@PC_Monkey as in a video my laptop is not giving any signs of life but just few days ago it was working fine. I thought I will try it. I opened it and there is no round battery anywhere. I checked both sides of motherboard and everything else
@@PC_Monkey is there any other way to manually reset it or maybe you have any other idea why it is not working? It just turn off and died, just like that😭
have an acer aspire 5 a515-45 i recently changed the bios settings to try and fix the random restarts my system was experiencing. However after leaving the bios my screen shows no display (it still has power and lights appear fine). I have tried resetting cmos with holding down the power button with the battery and cmos disconnected for a whole day and however the bios still wont reset, as i still have a black screen. (I have also tried replacing my ram slot to no avail) So should i consider my motherboard to be bricked and throw away my laptop or still try and fix it
Hello i have question i have acer aspire e5 573 laptop and i enter to BIOS and enable hidden BIOS and i change graphic card settings then when i save settings computer wont show anything black screen but it charge and power on and it has unremoveable battery how to fix it ????
Is your computer not turning on or is the computer turning on ( you hear motherboard clicks and/or the hard drive engage and/or hear the fan ) but the screen is just staying dark?
@@youcefmed2961 For a computer that turns on but the display does not work, try this video first; ua-cam.com/video/u-REPLdpZ70/v-deo.html Let me know how that goes :)
@@youcefmed2961 I dont have a specific video for that series number but this video would be generally the same way. Access the inside and remove the CMOS Battery. Try to find a disassembly or teardown video on your exact mode. That may give you a better idea of how to get into your specific computer.
Is this your computer? ua-cam.com/video/qNTRzPyjM4M/v-deo.html The CMOS battery looks like its the little blue battery in the lower right corner at 1:46. Its soldered on though so you would need to de-solder it then re-solder it on. You up for that? Why are you trying to reset BIOS this way?
@@PC_Monkey my laptop is not turning on... have tried all the primitive troubleshooting steps...so this was my last try before taking it to a professional troubleshooter. I was able to locate the cmos, tried lifting it without breaking it's soldering, however that step didn't work as well. But I am happy with the help your different videos I got motivated to open the laptop and do few troubleshooting steps. Thanks a lot for prompt response.
@@SS-ff3tx Lifting it without breaking it soldering wouldnt really do anything :) You would have to un-solder it to try the BIOS reset. Good luck !! Let me know how it goes :)
@@PC_Monkey Given for repair to a professional after trying all doable steps. However after 3 weeks technician says no luck in tracing the issue, had to bring laptop back with no change.
@@SS-ff3tx If he is unable to find the issue then Im not sure what kind of a professional he is LOL It may be a motherboard issue. It may need to be replaced.
Your trying to reset BIOS by removing the CMOS battery? You cannot locate yours? What brand and model computer do you have and why are you trying to reset BIOS this way?
hola una pregunta no es del tema pero quiero ponerle una tarjeta ram de 16 gb ddr4 marca crucial y la laptop trae una tarjeta ram SODIMM Kingston DDR3 4GB al ponersela se suman 20 o tienen que ser de la misma marca tipo de memoria a mi aspire e15 e5-576g-c6rd
Hoping you fine folks can help. I have an acer aspire slim 5 a515-43 91rl one of amazon's best sellers. Just recently I ordered a silicon power ssd along with silicon power NVME both 1tb each and 16gb ram from oloy I installed all three started the win10 installation and laptop for really hot by the vent after the install the laptop stopped operating no display on screen I tried putting the original parts back and nothing
No sir,a battery can be hard wired into the motherboard( soldered) and it certainly does not look like the 2 batteries you presented.Batteries you have shown are of 2032 variety,common in desktops
Yes, you are correct a CMOS Battery can be hard wired into the Motherboard. However these two shown here are very common in laptop computers. I open 15 laptops a week lol. There are the vast majority of those ;)
HellO, my Acer aspire es1572 after I unplugged it's LCD from motherboard since I needed to replace the cable, laptops power led just shines then Off, I don't know whether the motherboards has to detect screen before switching on, even if I plug external screen, or must I replace cable first.
Usually no. A computer does not need to detect the LCD first in order to turn on. Was the computer working well before this LCD replacement? Is it possible something was unplugged or damaged when the computer was opened up?
@@PC_Monkey hi thanks for the Reply, it was working when opened everything exposed, after I unplugged the cable, then power led just comes on then Off....
@@akhamafu191 1. For a computer that does not turn on, try this video first; ua-cam.com/video/P3I7dDpkJps/v-deo.html. Let me know how that goes :) 2. However, if a computer worked well before being opened up and had work performed on it, but did not work directly after, its most likely something physical that was done while the computer was opened. I would reseat all the connections, specifically the power connections
@@PC_Monkey Hi! Great Video! Will try this for a Buddy, who just got an ACER Aspire ES 15 doing a Dump/Haul Job, to possibly re-set/clear the password. Looks like I'll find the answer to my question on how to enter the Bios (Keyboard Command), on this ACER at your next hyperlink above.
Hi, just wanted to say thank you for your video. I was able to get my laptop working again. Great video... One weird thing though. I plug everything back in, including my battery it doesn't turn on. But when I unplug my battery, it works. Does that mean I need a new battery? Thanks again.
Yes, that could mean the Battery is bad. Sometimes, the computer can tell when a Battery or Charger is starting to die and may be unsafe. The computer will stop itself from turning on and being harmed by the faulty component. I would replace it :)
@@PC_Monkey like, the charger. i just got a new charger and my laptop looked at, they think its all fine but its still not charging😬 i think it was what they did idk 😂

I have a Acer Spin 3 SP315-51-79NT that won't power up at all. I've tried all the different sequences of booting and resetting that I can locate on line. I have replaced the MB, power supply and power jack connection, power switch, CMOS battery and fan. The power switch that I'm referring to is on the other side of the computer from the incoming power port with the button switch to turn it on. Have been struggling with this for some time now. I tested the voltage up to the MB and everything is good with one exception. I'm only getting 1.8 volts coming out of the power jack connection to the MB. There is 19.83 volts going into it and as I said 1.8 volts coming out to the MB. I'm not sure if that is the correct voltage...Can you offer any assistance? TIA
You have already replaced the Motherboard, Power Supply, Power Jack, Power Switch, CMOS Battery, and Fan?! Not many parts of the original computer are left LOL If there is only 1.8V going into the MB, I would assume the Jack is the issue as that is too low. But since you already replaced the Jack, I am at a loss. You have already tested the Charger and confirmed 19.83V coming out of it steadily?
Hi this video is very helpful. But I’m having a problem, basically my laptop shows a orange light when my charger is in the charging port, and when I try to turn it on it won’t work and I’ve followed everything on one of your videos and nothing worker. Please help
Your computer is stuck on? For a computer that wont turn off, press and hold the power button for up to a minute to turn the computer off. If that fails, remove the battery and unplug the power adapter to force a shut down. What happens after that, when you try to turn the computer on?
Hi sir! I just charged my acer ES14 while turning off and when its full, it suddenly didnt open. I follow basic steps on how to fix in ur 1st video and didnt work. Please help me. Notice my comment. Thank you
Hi, i just applied new thermal paste in my acer ES1 521 also upgraded ram but now its not turning on and neither charging. I am 100% sure everything is fine but still its not turning on , hope this method works.
If its not turning on after the work performed, its also possible something is loose or damaged from when you were inside. Is the RAM the correct RAM for your computer?
@@PC_Monkey hello again i tried this method, disassembled my laptop again carefully this time. Found that CMOS battery was soldered into motherboard, i removed it and soldered same on its place but still its not working. I have few queries:- 1-Can laptops work without CMOS battery. 2-Is it possible my laptop is not starting because of a dead cmos battery ( i don't have multimeter to measure output )
@@rohitmeinia2580 If your laptop has a CMOS Battery, then it needs it to function properly. If your computer is not turning on and you cannot find anything loose or damaged then we should start troubleshooting from the beginning on a computer that wont turn on. Thats here; ua-cam.com/video/_MOe71kBPOY/v-deo.html. If that does not help, then we would turn our attention to the CMOS Battery. We would perform a BIOS Reset as seen here in this video.
My 2015 acer has been in a cabinet for a few years. I was able to charge it overnight. Lights are blue. It does this same thing, whether plugged in or not, tries to come on but clicks back off. My screen is black. I have tried fn f6 for the screen. Nothing happens with any function key. Im shocked that the battery seems to be okay. Does this route (your video) seem like the right path for me?
Hi, I have acer aspire R7. It doesn't start when I power on , the power on light appears for few seconds and then it gets turned off. The internal battery is swollen. I don't know if the issue is with battery or bios. Please guide me which of your videos I can follow to troubleshoot. Your help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey i have a really bizarre problem with my laptop, its an acer aspire 3, it wont turn on when press the power button, however when i tap any other button the fans start spinning and it tries to boot, but it shortly dies after, then i tried holding down any button and the laptop succesfully turns on but as soon as i remove my finger from the button, it just dies instantly At first i suspected a virus named coresync, because a file named coresync somehow stopped me from shutting down properly as a background application.did my research and did the diagnostics, nothing. I need advice. Thank you if you took the time to read this.
Can you help me. So my acer wont stop loading at the loading screen and it's just shows acer explore beyond limits.

I’m having trouble with my main ssd on my acer Predator Helios 300 the bios doesn’t detect it says none for serial and part number. The problem is it stores my os windows 10 so it can’t boot up just tells me add booting drive or something.
If bios always resets after a cold boot there is two reasons one the bios clock battery is dead. two on some mother boards have a bios clock jumper that is set to reset bios. those are what cause bios to reset on purpose. after that it could be a loose ram chip or a loose pci device
Hi Thank you for useful content. I am having acer E575G I tried all the video and came to conclusion that when I remove battery and direct give a power supply to the LP the it turns on. But it doesnt switch on when I connect the battery. Sir do we have such issue and how to solve it?
If the computer turns on without the battery but will not turn on with the battery, that would seem to indicate that the battery is bad and should be replaced.
Hi. Can you make a guide specifically for acer nitro 5 AN515-43, I tried doing this but it did not work, I also tried the guide about checking the battery and the charger but nothing worked. Thanks :)
Your computer wont turn on? If you have tried the first video and now this BIOS Reset with no luck, then the next steps are to test the Power Adapter and Power Jack as seen here; ua-cam.com/video/YBhsVHideGE/v-deo.html & ua-cam.com/video/HpabvrNaodU/v-deo.html. If those both test Good, then the issue is most likely with your Motherboard. It would need to be replaced.
Mine Aspire ES1-732 doesn't have slot battery, it soldered to Motherboard. And My laptop wouldn't turn on also. So I shorted + and - of BIOS battery for 5 seconds and Laptop booted up. In your case, you may missing micro switch located under RAM cover of laptop bottom. When you open this cover to upgrade your RAM switch would terminate Laptop battery connection. With disconnected battery and no power cord attached. Laptop will not turn on. Try either tight up screw bolts tighter on this cover or glue something on cover bump located on cover against this micro switch to have a more firm push on switch.
I have an Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G that just completely died while in use. It was plugged in at the time. Now there is no power or battery light it’s just completely dead. I tried unplugging my cmos battery but no luck. I checked my cord and power port and found it good. Checked the mother board and it’s receiving power but the problem remains. I’ve been using a charger from a different laptop for a year with the same volt spec but instead of a 3.42 A it’s a 4.74 A.
Was following along the video and pausing it as I was doing the steps you were doing I unscrewed about 15 screws and tried to pop off the entire piece like you did before you spoke the words some computers have a little access panel so wasting my time and damn near broke the computer trying to pop off what shouldn't be popped off because mine has an access panel that should have been stated at the beginning of the video
1. Thought it was pretty common sense to watch a DIY video first and then try it yourself. Guess not lol 2. Feel free to make videos as you see fit. Ill make them as I see fit :) thx though :)
I took my laptop (acer aspir f15 F5 573G) to the repair shop they said the motherboard is dead. Do you think that's wrong and the problem only cmos battery?

I have an Acer Aspire 5 A515 and I have an issue with it starting up. The laptop charges fine when connected (The LED button lights up blue) but pressing the Power Button on the keyboard does nothing. I think the issue is with the keyboard because some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working after a year from purchase but I never bothered fixing it as I always used an external keyboard. Recently though the power button seems to be having issues, when I press it nothing happens although occasionally it will start up but after I turn it off and press the power button again, it does nothing. Now I think the keyboard is completely dead hence why the power button is unresponsive, I'll be giving it to the repair shop day after tomorrow, are there any other solutions you think I can do to temporarily have it turned on? Thank you in advance
If you feel like the keyboard is the issue then I recommend replacing it. They are usually fairly cheap, with most used ones on Ebay going for well under $20 USD. However, the first video I have people follow when their computer wont start is this one; ua-cam.com/video/_MOe71kBPOY/v-deo.html.

Not all motherboards will have a CMOS battery. But some will have smaller one. You would remove it and reinstall it all the same. Why are you trying to reset BIOS?
My laptop wont start. The power light comes on and i can hear the fan start but it doesnt get to the start up screen before its shuts off. It tries to start again and it repeats that cycle. Thought maybe the screen got broken or the battery was dead, charged it and plug in a hdmi cord but it still doesnt make it to the start up screen. So i went through you first video about holding the power button and it brought me here.
The battery is soldered in, someone it the comments said id have to desolder it and resolder it. Not sure if thats true, it looks like it can be removed without that but i didnt want to risk it for now.

Yea, definitely not the same motherboard once he removed it. Ours has a different battery, did you guys figure out if its still ok to use this method? Can i remove that battery?
If the computer only has issues when plugged into the charger cord, then try making sure the computer is updated first as seen here; ua-cam.com/video/DDv2gJDjfOM/v-deo.html If that fails to stop the issue, then you may want to replace the charger cord.
Heads up! THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH ACER ASPIRE V3-572PG. the battery is a different version that is soldered onto the motherboard, and therefore cannot be removed! I found this out the hard way so you don't have to!
In the case of a soldered on CMOS battery, you would have to desolder it to reset BIOS. But that will still reset BIOS so this method still works. Not all motherboards will be the same DIY operation.
Question: why I nearly never see the use of a electric screwdriver? Unscrewing and rescreewing tens of screws is already costing a lot of very expensive technician time. Why that?
Its easier and safer to use a manual driver. If most or even all of tradesmen in a certain field prefer doing things a certain way, there its usually that they all know what they are doing lol :) Its usually not that they all just havent thought of it yet :)

Hello, please help me. I have an Acer Aspire E5 471g. I recently installed an SSD and everything went well. I installed drivers for everything but then one day the laptop just won't start. The power indicator is blue which means it's on but the screen is completely black, no cursor or text. When I turned on my flashlight on my phone and shone it on the screen, there seems to be a faint flickering of the backlight which cannot be seen without the flashlight. At first I thought I had to reinstall windows because it might be a software issue but no....the problem still persists. Then it's probably the CMOS battery. I haven't tried it because the CMOS battery is on the other side of the motherboard. I really don't want to try and repair this myself because due to the current circumstances of the WHOLE WORLD, I can't just go outside and give my laptop to someone to repair it. I can't even get a NEW ONE! Whelp
I dont fully understand. Your saying your computer wont start at all but then it sounds like you tried to reinstall Windows and that didnt help. How did you reinstall the OS if the computer isnt turning on?
@@PC_Monkey I fixed the issue before by removing the cmos battery and waited 30 mins to reinsert it. It worked for a few weeks and tried reinstalling Windows because I thought Windows caused my laptop to not boot. But now i'm facing the same problem where the laptop just won't boot at all even after I do the cmos battery trick. If I shine a flashlight at my screen, there's only flickering but no Windows or cursor. I also tried connecting my laptop to a tv using an hdmi cable but that didn't work either. This is a pain to solve because I think it's not a simple matter.

Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)
Search on the underside of the motherboard for two tiny pads next to "JCMOS". Short the pads to clear the BIOS. Then, if you can, replace the RTC battery with a fresh one if it is over 3 years old. Good luck!
Yep, a cheapskate might check the old CMOS batt & if voltage is still good (3-sh volts) & realistically the laptop's unlikely to be used 5 o 10 yrs later then I'd pop back in. Depends if you have replacements to hand etc
Thanks from the bottom of my heart

I always remove and place it from the other side where the small metal lip is. This lip can be pushed a little away from the battery so it pops up. Placing it back is by lowering it behind the plastic lips and pushing it down over the metal lip. It will click in.

I recently installed windows 8 and now the blue tooth section tells me that it is there but will not or can not locate other blue tooth devices and my blue tooth devices can not locate my computer. Does anyone have a fix for this problem. Please help if you can . Cheers have a great day further Carl.
Thank you very much, your videos helped me a lot.
Could you please re upload the video in the description?
My PC worked for one day after the other tutorials but now it turns on, the Acer logo appears, the screens flashes white and then it turns off. I think the video in the description relates to the problem that I am having now.
That video would not be the one you need. That video would apply if the computer turns off before the Acer logo. If your issue appears after the logo, then we will assume its a hardware or Windows issue. Unfortunately, we lost most of our Acer videos recently. Use this video instead; ua-cam.com/video/2Hh1wIS9NDo/v-deo.html
However, you will need to press F2 instead of the one in the video :)

I did change the UEFI to Legacy, it didn't work, I changed back to UEFI and when it turned on, it started troubleshooting windows.

No sir,a battery can be hard wired into the motherboard( soldered) and it certainly does not look like the 2 batteries you presented.Batteries you have shown are of 2032 variety,common in desktops
Yes, you are correct a CMOS Battery can be hard wired into the Motherboard. However these two shown here are very common in laptop computers. I open 15 laptops a week lol. There are the vast majority of those ;)
HellO, my Acer aspire es1572 after I unplugged it's LCD from motherboard since I needed to replace the cable, laptops power led just shines then Off, I don't know whether the motherboards has to detect screen before switching on, even if I plug external screen, or must I replace cable first.
Usually no. A computer does not need to detect the LCD first in order to turn on. Was the computer working well before this LCD replacement? Is it possible something was unplugged or damaged when the computer was opened up?
@@PC_Monkey hi thanks for the Reply, it was working when opened everything exposed, after I unplugged the cable, then power led just comes on then Off....

Yes, that could mean the Battery is bad. Sometimes, the computer can tell when a Battery or Charger is starting to die and may be unsafe. The computer will stop itself from turning on and being harmed by the faulty component. I would replace it :)

The power switch that I'm referring to is on the other side of the computer from the incoming power port with the button switch to turn it on. Have been struggling with this for some time now. I tested the voltage up to the MB and everything is good with one exception. I'm only getting 1.8 volts coming out of the power jack connection to the MB. There is 19.83 volts going into it and as I said 1.8 volts coming out to the MB. I'm not sure if that is the correct voltage...Can you offer any assistance? TIA
You have already replaced the Motherboard, Power Supply, Power Jack, Power Switch, CMOS Battery, and Fan?! Not many parts of the original computer are left LOL
If there is only 1.8V going into the MB, I would assume the Jack is the issue as that is too low. But since you already replaced the Jack, I am at a loss. You have already tested the Charger and confirmed 19.83V coming out of it steadily?

Mine Aspire ES1-732 doesn't have slot battery, it soldered to Motherboard. And My laptop wouldn't turn on also. So I shorted + and - of BIOS battery for 5 seconds and Laptop booted up. In your case, you may missing micro switch located under RAM cover of laptop bottom. When you open this cover to upgrade your RAM switch would terminate Laptop battery connection. With disconnected battery and no power cord attached. Laptop will not turn on. Try either tight up screw bolts tighter on this cover or glue something on cover bump located on cover against this micro switch to have a more firm push on switch.
I have an Acer Aspire 5 A517-51G that just completely died while in use. It was plugged in at the time. Now there is no power or battery light it’s just completely dead. I tried unplugging my cmos battery but no luck. I checked my cord and power port and found it good. Checked the mother board and it’s receiving power but the problem remains. I’ve been using a charger from a different laptop for a year with the same volt spec but instead of a 3.42 A it’s a 4.74 A.

Was following along the video and pausing it as I was doing the steps you were doing I unscrewed about 15 screws and tried to pop off the entire piece like you did before you spoke the words some computers have a little access panel so wasting my time and damn near broke the computer trying to pop off what shouldn't be popped off because mine has an access panel that should have been stated at the beginning of the video
1. Thought it was pretty common sense to watch a DIY video first and then try it yourself. Guess not lol
2. Feel free to make videos as you see fit. Ill make them as I see fit :) thx though :)
I took my laptop (acer aspir f15 F5 573G) to the repair shop they said the motherboard is dead. Do you think that's wrong and the problem only cmos battery?
Impossible to say without looking at the computer. Whats wrong with it? Will it not turn on?

I have an Acer Aspire 5 A515 and I have an issue with it starting up. The laptop charges fine when connected (The LED button lights up blue) but pressing the Power Button on the keyboard does nothing. I think the issue is with the keyboard because some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working after a year from purchase but I never bothered fixing it as I always used an external keyboard. Recently though the power button seems to be having issues, when I press it nothing happens although occasionally it will start up but after I turn it off and press the power button again, it does nothing. Now I think the keyboard is completely dead hence why the power button is unresponsive, I'll be giving it to the repair shop day after tomorrow, are there any other solutions you think I can do to temporarily have it turned on? Thank you in advance
If you feel like the keyboard is the issue then I recommend replacing it. They are usually fairly cheap, with most used ones on Ebay going for well under $20 USD. However, the first video I have people follow when their computer wont start is this one; ua-cam.com/video/_MOe71kBPOY/v-deo.html. So feel free to start there if you want to take a stab at a DIY project :)
Hey bro i checked inside my laptop for bios but the bios battery is very small and connected with shouldering I don't know what to do now can you give an advice?
You would have to de-solder it and then solder it back on to reset BIOS this way.
Why are you wanting to reset BIOS?
hello, I have an Acer aspire e5-573g. Everything was normal until one day I tried to shut down the laptop using the keyboard power key. But that didnt work so i used the start up menu and shut it down from there. Ever since my laptop has been completely dead. I try to power on through the keyboard and it does nothing. The charger is working fine, when it is plugged in the red led indicator turns on. But the laptop power blue light doesnt come. I tried to do a hard reset by inserting a pin into the hole at the back of the laptop and the in the first attempt it didnt nothing. But i let it sit for an hour or so and in the retried and this time the laptop started. Also both the times i was holding the reset button for about 30 secs or more. However, with the laptop turned on i tried to run my normal applications and everything worked fine until i moved the laptop and and after few mins it went dead again and ever since then i have tried reseting multiple times, tried removing inside battery, ram, hard disk and cmos battery and put it back in, tried to remove the static power as well but the laptop is just not responding. Only the charger indication works rest everything is absolutely dead. Please help me.

My laptop looked exactly like yours up until you pulled the motherboard out qnd flipped it over. Is that the same motherboard in your video? Mine doesnt have a big battery like that, just a tiny one and im not sure that what im looking for. Please help 😭
Its an acer aspire e15 touch for reference
Not all motherboards will have a CMOS battery. But some will have smaller one. You would remove it and reinstall it all the same. Why are you trying to reset BIOS?
My laptop wont start. The power light comes on and i can hear the fan start but it doesnt get to the start up screen before its shuts off. It tries to start again and it repeats that cycle. Thought maybe the screen got broken or the battery was dead, charged it and plug in a hdmi cord but it still doesnt make it to the start up screen. So i went through you first video about holding the power button and it brought me here.
The battery is soldered in, someone it the comments said id have to desolder it and resolder it. Not sure if thats true, it looks like it can be removed without that but i didnt want to risk it for now.
@@kohaku1144 Are you able to see anything on the screen during this restarting cycle?
Hi PC Monkey ,I thought there be someone out there just like me, who took out the mother board, only to find no battery so whats next?
My pc is Acer Aspire E1-570 I tried changing the boot mode from UEFI to legacy and set my flash drive to start on boot mode i even F12 to check for boot mode and i even took the hard drive out trick and still nothing all i keep getting is remove disks or other media Press any key to start. if you could help be most grateful.
If none of the steps here solve your issue, then try to reinstall the Operating System as shown here; ua-cam.com/video/bIlW4im-tr4/v-deo.html. You can create your own Windows 10 Install Media free as seen here; ua-cam.com/video/g_UhiHScaSI/v-deo.html. If Windows won't install correctly, then we know that the Hard Drive is bad. Replace it as seen here; ua-cam.com/video/tNp5Kbo9uHg/v-deo.html. Then, install Windows onto the new one.
Please ADMIN, Reply me. I never knew that to remove battery first. I was cleaning my laptop. i mistakenly touched my screwdriver to a very small transistor(i think its a transistor, was very very small), a spark came out, after that my laptop isnt getting the power , not turning on, not getting any power from charger. charger is fine, i saw your previous video, did everything but its not turning on. And am really upset.

@@PC_Monkey i said, it was a spark when my screw driver front part accidently touched a small transistor / capacitor near my fan connection on motherboard. It had a small spark, after that my laptop not charging not turning on. I saw all videos of yours. Nothing worked for me. If you have an email, i can send you the image?
@@sohaibali3336 If none of those steps worked then its most likely a motherboard issue, which makes sense if you saw a spark and a portion of the motherboard may have been damaged. You should then replace the motherboard.

My laptop model is Acer aspire e5 573g . 2 days ago my laptop starting giving issues like lagging in between working process, my cursor slows down at low speed. And freezes the laptop in between . But i ended all task and clear all temp files and run the antivirus but nothing worked.... So i kept my laptop aside for 4-5 hr with no use. Then it started working. But yesterday another thing happened is that laptop turns off automatically . And yes i clean the internal fan and ram and heat exhaust..... But then too it freezes and shutting down automatically.
Try checking out the logs in the computer to see if it tells you what going on; ua-cam.com/video/oJX-kBfxjAg/v-deo.html
After watching it found 3 errors and 2 warnings ! Now what to do with that i check them on Google ? What's next step ???
@@prajwalpatil3845 The video tells you how to proceed. Yes, you find the error that matches the time of your computer turning off as stated in the video. You can then read the description and see if its clear enough for you to figure out how to fix it. If not, search for that error on line as shown in the video. Microsoft will have a write-up on the error, the cause, and how to fix it as shown in the video.
@@PC_Monkey what if i reset my pc full format will the problem continues ?
@@prajwalpatil3845 It depends what the problem is. Did you find anything on the error that matches the time of shutdown?
It fixed my issue but it's occurred again and again need to remove battery many times should I replace the CMOS battery
Yes. If you have to reset BIOS all the time then I would replace the CMOS battery.
i have Acer Predator Helios Neo 16and after changing the bios setting it doesn't turn on. i tried removing cmos battery and main battery but still i get a black screen
I tried to reinstall windows after my computer crashed but it claimed that my hard drive was dead.. however, after changing my HDD I still had the same problem
Apparently even the first hard drive works well when you put it in another computer

What kind of computer did you install it into and what was the error exactly?

When I try to format the hard drive it brings me an error and even a command prompt clean is not doing it for me.

can you do a tutorial for the wired battery. im not 100% on how to remove the wire and i dont want to risk damaging anything.
You simply unplug the wire from the motherboard. Its usually a pull plug that just pulls out horizontally. What brand and model computer do you have?
@@PC_Monkey oh lol. i didnt realize that it was just a plug. i thought it was wired together. i apologize.

Your removed mother bord was different not same laptop
Thats what i said too because i have that same laptop
Yea, definitely not the same motherboard once he removed it. Ours has a different battery, did you guys figure out if its still ok to use this method? Can i remove that battery?
will this affect why my laptop keeps draining battery even if its turned off?
No. Your battery drains even when its turned off? How do you know?
I have an acer 6920g work perfect off battery but when I plugged charger in it restarts only when charger in plugged into mains I'm baffled
If the computer only has issues when plugged into the charger cord, then try making sure the computer is updated first as seen here; ua-cam.com/video/DDv2gJDjfOM/v-deo.html
If that fails to stop the issue, then you may want to replace the charger cord.
Heads up! THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH ACER ASPIRE V3-572PG. the battery is a different version that is soldered onto the motherboard, and therefore cannot be removed! I found this out the hard way so you don't have to!
In the case of a soldered on CMOS battery, you would have to desolder it to reset BIOS. But that will still reset BIOS so this method still works. Not all motherboards will be the same DIY operation.
Question: why I nearly never see the use of a electric screwdriver? Unscrewing and rescreewing tens of screws is already costing a lot of very expensive technician time. Why that?
Its easier and safer to use a manual driver. If most or even all of tradesmen in a certain field prefer doing things a certain way, there its usually that they all know what they are doing lol :) Its usually not that they all just havent thought of it yet :)

Hello, please help me.
I have an Acer Aspire E5 471g.
I recently installed an SSD and everything went well.
I installed drivers for everything but then one day the laptop just won't start.
The power indicator is blue which means it's on but the screen is completely black, no cursor or text.
When I turned on my flashlight on my phone and shone it on the screen, there seems to be a faint flickering of the backlight which cannot be seen without the flashlight.
At first I thought I had to reinstall windows because it might be a software issue but no....the problem still persists.
Then it's probably the CMOS battery.
I haven't tried it because the CMOS battery is on the other side of the motherboard.
I really don't want to try and repair this myself because due to the current circumstances of the WHOLE WORLD, I can't just go outside and give my laptop to someone to repair it.
I can't even get a NEW ONE!
Whelp
UPDATE: Removed the CMOS battery and still waiting for at least 30 minutes
I dont fully understand. Your saying your computer wont start at all but then it sounds like you tried to reinstall Windows and that didnt help. How did you reinstall the OS if the computer isnt turning on?
@@PC_Monkey I fixed the issue before by removing the cmos battery and waited 30 mins to reinsert it.
It worked for a few weeks and tried reinstalling Windows because I thought Windows caused my laptop to not boot.
But now i'm facing the same problem where the laptop just won't boot at all even after I do the cmos battery trick.
If I shine a flashlight at my screen, there's only flickering but no Windows or cursor.
I also tried connecting my laptop to a tv using an hdmi cable but that didn't work either.
This is a pain to solve because I think it's not a simple matter.
