acer 5551 power up problem
Acer laptop 5551, just redid cmos battery, put everything back together but as soon as I hit the power on button I get nothing. Checked and rechecked MB ribbon and keyboard ribbon but still no power on light. If I plug in power source, I get battery light charging and in the blue. Any ideas anyone?
Was working before, just disconnected cmos battery for 1 hour to bypass lost bios password
solved everyone......bad keyboard....
changed it and all is running well.
Taking off cmos battery did clear password for bios, BUT after the hell I went through, wouldn't recommend it for those like me who are not sure of what they are doing.
Once again, I thank everyone who took the time to read and reply
