Pinaayos ko yung laptop ko, then sinabi nila na nag-overheat daw, which is totoo naman. After maayos, sinabi sa’kin na pinalitan daw nila yung original charger ko kasi 24V daw iyon at iyon daw ang cause ng overheating ng laptop ko. Tinanong ko kung magkano ang additional sa ₱3k na repair, tapos sabi niya magdadagdag daw ako ng ₱1k.

Ngayon, nung tinry ko gamitin, may problem na naman. Hindi ko alam kung sa laptop ba mismo yung issue o sa charger. Feeling ko hindi rin sa battery kasi napa-full charge ko naman siya at working fine naman kapag unplugged, pero kapag naka-plug in na, doon na lumalabas yung problema.

Haha sorry guys Kay mama ko muna kasi sinend Yan kaya may naririnig kayong mama

Hi everyone,

I’m seeking technical advice for my Acer Aspire 5 (A515-58GM). I was using it while plugged in when it suddenly shut down and won't turn back on. Most importantly, the charging indicator LED is completely dead when the AC adapter is plugged in.

Troubleshooting steps taken:

Hard Reset: Held the power button for 60+ seconds (no response).

Internal Inspection: Opened the back cover; there are no visible burn marks, charred components, or acrid smells on the motherboard.

Battery Isolation: Disconnected the internal battery and tried to power it on using only the AC adapter. Still no indicator light and no power.

Visual Check: Checked the DC-in jack and cables; everything looks physically intact.

My Questions:

Since the charging LED is off even with the battery disconnected, does this confirm a short circuit on the primary power rail (19V rail) or a tripped protection MOSFET?

Is it possible that the Power Management IC or a shorted SMD capacitor is causing the system to stay in "protection mode"?

Based on these symptoms, is this usually a board-level repairable issue (like replacing a mosfet/capacitor), or am I looking at a total motherboard failure?

I also tried cleaning the fan 😞
