I'm crying I didn't really know much when my laptop wouldn't turn on so I just left it in the dark for 2 years... my brother recently got a MacBook so I got jealous and just tried to fix it, and saw this video and it works now Thank you!!!
you are a hero! the audio cable was loose. hadn't used it for a year. Acer wanted to charge me for a possibly broken power switch and mechanics costs; turns out they didn't assemble their product as they should. thanks for your video!
Honestly, thank you so much for this! I've had this laptop sitting around for 3 years not knowing what to do with it because i didnt want to pay repair costs to get it back on. Lifesaver!
Thanks a billion times!! after a little fall from a height of about 15cm / 6-7in post a rigorous security check in Beijing, I later found out when hanging in Hong Kong that my switch would not go on. Searched for a few tips on how to fix this and your video was the most accurate, informative and certainly the easiest to follow. I used a sharp kitchen knife (instead of a flat screw driver) because I did not want to leave dents along the seam or groove.It was loose exactly where you said it might be. it is now fixed :-)
Thanks a lot. Your description solved the problem with our Acer Switch 10. My wife wasn't able to turn it on. So I followed your instruction and found out that we had the same problem. Instead of metal tools I used a guitar plectrum to open the housing because it doesn't damage the surface.
HI ..... I was desperate to get my aspire working to access an important document saved within. We followed your advice and it worked. Wanted to send you a HUGE thank YOU from the UK :-)
Hey man I just wanna thank you so much for being the only person in the entire Internet to tell me exactly what the problem to my switch 10 was. I did exactly what you did in the video and saw that the black line was visible so I followed your instructions and put the cable back into place and boom it started working again. I was so upset because I warmed up popcorn to watch Netflix and then it wasn't even responding to the charger so thank you so so so much.
I really want to thank you very much, because this happened to me (I live out the US, Venezuela actually) so thru yout video I coulded repair my Acer Aspire Swicht 10. Was the Audio cable. Now it is working fine again. Excellent video. My best regards.
THANK YOU SO MUCH :) i have the Acer Switch 10 sw5-012-18sa, same troubles as yours (blue light on with AC adapter plugged, but not able to power the computer on), thanks to your video, i was able to find the problem and to fix 1 cable, even Acer added taps on each cable, it took less than 5 minutes to fix this amazing computer, thank you again, from FRANCE ;)
you saved me a lifetime, I was having the exact same problem, that blue part of the cable was hanging out, inserted inside and all worked as if there was no problem, thanks to you, thanks to youtube.
Thank you very much for sharing this video. I’ve got the same problem with my acer aspire switch 10... It takes me how many hours thinking how I could open or remove the cover... until I watched I your video. Problem solved!
Amazing!! thank you so much for sharing and teaching this!!! I had all my work on this tablet and I couldn't figure out the problem for months! I'm so happy!!
hey, i was about to go crazy man about selling the stuff and thing, but then i did this and it really worked. i almost cried omg. thanks alot it was very helpful, VERY GOOD VID
You are amazing man!!! :))) I have just repaired the audio cable of my acer, as you showed! It works again, saved some 100$ after-warranty repair cost! Thank you!!!
Big hug with lots of Latin American back-slapping for you from Brazil. I didn't have all these fancy tools of yours so I had to use a butter knife, but it worked all the same. Thanls a lot!
Gracias gracias gracias! Lo lleve a una casa de reparación y me dijeron que no tenia solución... no hablo el idioma pero entendí tan bien que pude reparar mi acer... estoy feliz! Gracias!
Thanks sooo much for the troubleshooting; I FIXED IT.... I was going to buy another laptop when all i did was tuck ribbon under black bar. Thanks again!
hola amigo, agradezco mucho que hayas subido este vídeo, ningún técnico en mi ciudad pudo encontrar el problema y gracias a ti solucione mi problema. mil gracias !!! Ya estoy suscrito !
Great thanks. I had similar problem. My charger cable was broken. It often charged but sometime stopped. Tablet went out of power and I couldn't switch it on. I was moving the cable near the plug and saw the difference with power indicator light. I bought a new charger and problem wa solved. Other question: Is it possible to upgrade WLAN to 5GHz one?
Thanks a lot, you helped me solve my issue! The cover was hard to remove without the proper tool (I had to use a tiny screwdriver and a guitar pick lol) but other than that it was really easy to fix following your instructions.
Technicians don't usually use a metal prying tool because it is so hard that it can easily deform the plastic parts. Moreover, prying tools are not as big as construction tools. There are more decent plastic prying tools available in computer shops.
Thanks for the quick tip, I appreciate if you could show where's button battery located, I can't find it, and I don't want to remove the motherboard for avoiding any issue with the wires.
My Acer Aspire gave me the Bios screen every time I turned it on lately. I was going to try to find a way to get it to a recycler, when I had another idea. Put the OS on USB stick, and boot from there. So that's what I'm doing. How many others can use this to make a device last a little longer?
hi nice video. i have the same notebook as yours, but my problem is the magnet that connects the tab from the keyboard or notebook. The left side part does not connect properly. it is loose and i had to carefully open the tablet slowly so it wont fall off, and when closing, I had to press the tab so it will stick properly. the guy that I bought this at the mall said that this is normal. Is it really? it is only a month old that i bought it.
Hi great video, is there a fix for an update on the bios that failed. The acer site upgrade flashed the bios and now it won't turn on at all. Can it be reflashed or brought back now it's bios is presumably dead. Any help appreciated. Thanks
Hi ! You are the lifesaver! I fixed my lap by myself! I have another problem! My camera doesnt work? I think it may pluged off because it should work, i didnt hit anywhere but it suddenly stopped working. Maybe i can change or fix by myself? :)
I I have a acer one s1002 . recently the windows clock show wrong time. It is possible that there is a clock battery to replace ? THe error happens also with external power plugged.
I checked that ribbon cable, I do get an amber light, then blue when it's fully charged, still no boot. Tried holding down power button, disconnecting the battery, discharge and plugging it back in. Had it connected via HDMI in case it was my LCD, still nothing. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Solved my problem. Also used it as a teaching moment for my daughter. She was impressed we didn't have to buy a new one. Thanks!
Worked like a charm, the loose audio cable was the whole issue. Took five minutes to fix, and so glad to have it working again. GREAT VIDEO!!!

Wow, you're a lifesaver. Thanx for that video, very much!
Life saver. Thanks for the video. it fixed my issue
Thanks a lot, you helped me solve my issue! The cover was hard to remove without the proper tool (I had to use a tiny screwdriver and a guitar pick lol) but other than that it was really easy to fix following your instructions.
I used finger nails, a spudger tool and a philips screwdriver. It was the flat cable coming loose that was indeed causing a no-start.
This worked perfectly for me. Thank you very much
Thank you so much for this video it saved my tablet!
