Hi guys,
I'm hoping you can help me. I have an Acer V5-473P. A little while ago I noticed that the battery wouldn't charge anymore when plugged in and I couldn't use the laptop when unplugged, even though the battery still had charge. I looked for a few solutions online but since I only ever use it at home, I didn't try too hard. I tried another AV adapter and it didn't help. The battery was slowly draining as it wasn't charging but very very slowly as it was still using wall power. That lasted a few months of regular everyday use.
This weekend however, my laptop turned off while I was using it and the plugged in indicator turned off and won't turn on again. I tried different plugs and AC adapters, no luck. The laptop seems dead.
My first instinct was the battery, but considering it still had a charge for months and was slowly going down, I'm not so sure.
Any ideas what caused this and if I can repair it by myself? If so what parts do you think I need?
Thanks for your help.
