Acer ASPIRE-5315 user manual

Based on the information provided, you have an Acer Aspire 5315 model.

If your Acer Aspire 5315 laptop won't turn on, there are a few steps you can try to reset it:
1. Connect the charger: Ensure your laptop is fully charged by connecting it to the power adapter. Sometimes, a drained battery can prevent the laptop from turning on.
2. Remove external devices: Disconnect any external devices, such as USB drives, printers, or external monitors, from your laptop. These devices may be causing a conflict and preventing the laptop from starting.
3. Reset the power supply: You can also try resetting the power supply by removing the battery (if it's removable) and unplugging the power adapter. Then hold the power button down for about 30 seconds to drain any residual power. After that, plug in the power adapter (without the battery) and try turning on the laptop.
4. Test with another power adapter: Borrow a compatible power adapter from someone else to ensure that your laptop's power adapter is not faulty. If the laptop turns on with the borrowed adapter, you may need to replace your own power adapter.
5. Check the RAM: Faulty or loose RAM modules can cause startup issues. Open the laptop's memory compartment located on the bottom side, and try reseating the RAM modules by removing them and reinserting them firmly. If you have two RAM modules installed, you can try removing one at a time to see if that solves the problem.
6. Perform a hard reset: If none of the above steps work, you can try performing a hard reset. This process may vary depending on your laptop model. On the Acer Aspire 5315, you can generally do this by holding down the power button for about 15 seconds while the laptop is unplugged from the power source. Then reconnect the power adapter and try turning it on again.
If none of these troubleshooting steps work, it may be necessary to contact Acer technical support or visit a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue.
