Aspire switch 10 totally dead.

My Switch 10 just died. I can't turn it on and the led is not even indicate charging when I connect the charger.
It's almost as if the charger itself died.

I contacted Acer support and I just it approved for the service. But as it is out of warranty, I have doubts about sending of it away. What can be the cost for troubleshooting?

I've read about people having similar problems is solved by pressing power volume and simultaneously switch button, but it doesn't seem to work in my case.

Hello

You've found 4.2V and the battery voltage is 3.8V. This means that the battery is fully charged. I don't think that the issue is here.

Did you check that the flat cable connectors have been inserted correctly?

My opinion:

"I can't turn it on and the led is not even indicate charging when I connect the charger.

The power button is maybe defective (55.L47N5.001 - Audio card). Check visually.

  • Totally dead Satellite L350-203

    In short, I recommend greedily Toshiba laptops to all my clients and friends and family.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro myself, very happy with it, all those who have purchased after my recommendations are also happy, except that I recommended to a neighbour.

    In April 2009 I sent them a link to buy a Toshiba L350-203. After just 6 months, the mouse pad has failed and had to be repaired. This person uses the laptop occasionally for web browsing in general.

    Now, they turn to the top at my door, laptop in hand, totally dead, no power light or anything like that. To rule out that it is a power supply problem, a replacement power has been purchased.
    Once again no power whatsoever. Food is certainly get to the plug of the adapter.

    I think it's evil because it's just 15 months or two and saw very little use, it also leaves my tips for buying considered a bad recommendation and my reputation is on the line.

    Someone suggested the hard drive could have died, perhaps my logic is wrong, but if the HARD drive was dead, but the power supply has confirmed that the work, would'nt the power of the computer laptop, but just fails to start? I know that on a PC, even without a disc hard, it will fuel yet.

    I pull on my laptop HARD drive, unfortunately, the connections are the same type, but laid out different. I don't have access to another drive, with that I can test. The power supply seems to be ok, but I did not open the laptop to check physically, it apppears solid.
    So shaken a little bit there is no sign of a power indicator. No power light, no light, totally dead unit.

    I don't know what to do, as it is now out of warranty as far as I know, it will cost them financially, firstly we'll still look for my advice never & I lose credibility, secondly I doubtfully recommend Toshiba again because of the lack of reliability.

    I hope Toshiba will specify this is a rare occurrence and something can be set.
    This would be most appreciated.

    Hi guy.

    Indeed, I also recommend the use of Toshiba laptops but such problem of course can always happen it s any laptop manufacturer or model of mobile phone is.
    Computer laptop is a machine and machine would dysfunction like other machines do too.
    I have two different Toshiba laptops and I never had any problems with the units.
    However

    > Someone suggested the hard drive could have died, perhaps my logic is wrong, but if the HARD drive was dead, but the power supply has confirmed that the work, would'nt the power of the computer laptop, but just fails to start? I know that on a PC, even without a disc hard, it will fuel yet.
    I doubt problem s HDD given that the laptop powering not upwards and does not POST (power on self-test) if the HARD drive is faulty, then the laptop would be always able to start, but you get an OS message was not found.

    > I don't know what to do, as it is now out of warranty as far as I know, it will cost them financially, firstly we'll still look for my advice never & I lose credibility, secondly I doubtfully recommend Toshiba again because of the lack of reliability.
    The laptop is 15 months old. Generally, the standard notebook warranty laptop duration 12 months. But if the laptop was placed on the page of Toshiba, then the guarantee extend to 24 months.
    So if the laptop has been saved in the past, then the warranty should always be available.

    Anyway, back to the question, I think that the RAM (memory) should be tested also. If it s RAM DO not matter, then the motherboard could be affected and in this case the motherboard needs to be replaced.
    This can be done by a Toshiba ASP.

    I recommend so get in touch with the local ASP in order to check the laptop parts!

    Good luck

  • Questions about the Acer Aspire Switch 10 guarantee

    Hello

    I am very interested and very probably going to go ahead with a purchase of the Acer Aspire Switch 10 but I have a few questions. As the device is not currently available in Australia my plan is either:

    (A) choose one of these devices to the top when I visited the United States in two weeks

    Or

    (B) order now (of the United States) and delivered it here, so it comes at the time wherever I'm back from my trip.

    So my main question is, as I have seen many different people having the same problem here with no apparent difficulty, if I made the purchase would I covered by warranty? I think that one would see me covered by the guarantee of international travelers, but it is not very clear. The second option would be local warranty (United States), is that correct? So if I had a problem I have to send it to the United States (at my expense)? Or should it be mentioned here in Australia? And finally, if a problem arises here, local service center (located in Sydney) acer would be able to solve the problem or find a replacement model, even if I have to pay a fee?

    Thanks for the help, I am completely impressed with the device for what it is, I don't want to be stuck with a dud and know I am not covered by the warranty after I come back home (Australia) or when it arrives.

    A traveler warranty Acer is designed so that if you buy a product, then travel outside your country up to 90 days, you can get service while you travel. Because you live in Australia and be buying abroad and return home, that you would classify not as a traveller in good faith. You can read all of the terms and conditions in http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/itw.htm.

    The warranty for a product purchased in the United States would need to be repaired in the United States. Unfortunately, you would be responsible for the shipping of the product to the United States for repair, and we can only ship to an address in the United States, so you have to send it to someone in the States who may transmit the packet.

    Regarding if the deposit of Australian repair can repair the product, it would be up to their discression regarding if an ITW applies and if they are able to get the parts of the system. It is recommended that any warranty service needed on a purchased product, to be in the country of the initial sale.

  • Brightness of the display on battery walk brighter. Acer Aspire switch Alpha 12 SA5-271 - Q 55, 6

    Acer Aspire switch Alpha 12 SA5-271 - Q 55, 6

    I am running the latest version of windows 10.  I noticed that when the Tablet is a stack when I opened a window, like a file Explorer, the screen will brighten up about 3 to 4 more brilliant after the opening stages of the window.  Turning off automatic mitigation does not affect this.  He disobeys on battery.  Any ideas?

    Thank you

    IIRC the last version of Windows gradually reduces the brightness of the screen when it is on battery. Opening a window to bring it to normal, how it will start again dimming.

  • Aspire Switch 10 keyboard problem

    Hello. I have problems with my brand new Acer Aspire Switch 10.

    I just unboxed it - it sounds great - but unfortunately there is a problem with the keyboard. When I press on to ' or 'g', I get ' gs, similarly ' t ' and '4', 'y' and 'w', ' 6 "and 3" and more annoyingly "v" and "right arrow".» I'm typing this message on an external keyboard!, which works very well.

    Is there something I can do to try to resolve the problem, or I am looking at a return

    Replacement keyboard works very well.

  • How can I type the characters printed in green on the keyboard of Acer aspire switch 10?

    My (Northern) keyboard on my Acer Aspire switch 10 has some characters printed in green. This includes the backslash character I need desperately. However, I can't find any information in the manual or elsewhere about access (type) these characters. Help, please!

    I tried now. With the help of the button Fn-type only the characters printed in blue. The backslash is printed in green, as is the Danish æ and 0-slash (o). Explaining the problem to my wife, she wanted to give it a go. And to my surprise it resolved in less than a minute. I had missed that the backslash WAS ALSO printed in white on the same key as + and? so, to be able to type it, all I have to do is pressed the Alt - Gr key pressing this key. Stupid of me to do not see it the first time around.

    Getting back to the question initial on the characters printed in green, I came to the conclusion that it is "conversion" of the keyboard in a Danish provision of individual countries by specifying this keyboard layout in Windows settings. Similarly, there are a few characters printed in red. I assume these are Norwegians.

    This type of complexity, that's what you get when manufacturers want to reduce country-variants for as little as possible, I guess.

    So all is well here

    For reference, I enclose a picture of my keyboard

  • Acer Aspire switch 10 - Boot USB / Windows 8.1 installation of USB

    Hello
    I recently bought Switch 10. As it has only 32 GB SSD cut into 24 GB of windows and 8 GB partition for recovery, I tried to merge these partition to get rid of the recovery and have only a single partition SSD. Longbstory short, I failed and got a blue screen, then a restart and now I have this:
    http://i.imgur.com/NmAkhgO.jpg

    I have Windows 8.1 the official site of Microsoft, I have orginal CDkey (not OEM Acer's). The version I downloaded is a 32/64-bit Installer (I think, but it can be 32-bit only)
    I tried to configure the BIOS by myself, but it always puts me the blue screen of windows (with error 0000225).
    I provided the BIOS with the default settings screens: http://imgur.com/a/jtyN2

    I prepared the USB stick to a .iso image with a program called Rufus, GPT partitioning system.

    Then I changed the BIOS settings to allow non-secure startup and boot from USB HDD first, and when you start, I hit F12. But I still get that: http://imgur.com/yE48diG

    -What would I do? Be able to start Windows 8.1 installator, clear all partitions on SSD and make sure that you have a 32GB with windows.
    -What I need? Help, because I can not boot from USB and run Windows 8.1 installator.

    I found the solution, everything works fine.

    To do this, you must keep two things in mind:

    1. you may not use Microsoft official .iso for the USB program - it does create a bootable USB stick for UEFI bios, the official downloader for Windows have the ability to create USB bootable .iso downloaded, but it is not able to do.

    You must create bootable ISO using software of Rufus (type simpy rufus in google or LINK), then all you have to do is to make sure that you have selected GPT partition scheme for your bootable usb key and the FAT32 file system.

    2. the most improtant thing which is our Acer Aspire Switch 10 supports ONLY 32-bit Windows, just all the instalators Windows that contains the version 64 bits are wrong. Conclusion is simple, you need only 32 bits instalator, the 32-bit/64-bit custom works (like only instalation of 64-bit that is obvious)

    Hope this has helped.

  • Acer aspire switch v10 wifi problem.

    Hello

    I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I looked and that you can not see this problem.

    My friend got an Acer Aspire switch V10 from the EA Store with mobile internet, but want to connect Wifi too when shes at home.

    The problem is that there is no option for Wifi everywhere where I can see. My laptop Windows 10 in the Notifications Panel and the subnet in the settings. But these are not? How to connect to a Wifi network?

    Thanks for any help you can give and, hopefully, im missing not only something

    Welly

    It is possible that it is, for some reason, got the wireless off. There is a press of button (Fn - F3 on this laptop, may vary on the switch) which enables / disables wifi on and outside. In addition, you can toggle the wifi device in network and sharing Center, go to edit the card settings. If it does not then it is possible that the driver is corrupted or missing, open the Device Manager and look for whatever it is reported as a problem. Finally, it is possible, that there is a hardware problem in which case it will not show anywhere. This requires a trip to the repair depot.

  • Acer Aspire Switch 10 SW5-012-16AA screen will not lock properly?

    Hi all

    I have an Acer Aspire Switch 10 SW5-012-16AA 2-in-1 removable laptop / Tablet and I bought it in February this year. Recently, I had the question of whether he is in charge, the power/control lock light no longer lights and now when I press the button, it isn't really lock the screen more that causes my battery dying too fast and the buttons being touched while it is in my bag. Any other button on that side works fine, it's just the power/lock button.

    Does anyone else have this problem? I'll see if this is covered by the warranty (if not human. I have additional coverage with another company) and see if it can be fixed? I use this for College and that is my only computer so I hope that's not dying on me already!

    I have access to a charger micro usb to load another Tablet Windows, it uses 19.5V 1. to load instead of the standard micro usb 5v 2A.

    Anyone know if this could be used to recharge than my aspire switch 10?  Or at least it will damage if I try?

    I'm not really an Acer rep, just a member of the community who has been quite active (and I assume quite OK ) to have obtained the status of Acer Ace. That said, anti-war of the benefits of being an ACE of the Acer is the occasional chance to play with the new machines after they are introduced. I got to play with a Switch 10 for several weeks after their initial introduction...

    The problem with a micro USB charger is that the Switch 10 is not designed to load throough the USB port. take one of the many Chargers 3rd party designed for Switch 10 (and many other models of Acer Tablet).
