Acer Aspire One

Hi my nephews Acer Aspire One has no power what so ever no lights nothing! I have tried my wifes power lead from her Acer One but no results. Any ideas?

So, none of the LED lights are lighting up, i.e. power, HDD lights, etc...? If that is the case, it could be a bad adapter or a bad power jack. You can try removing the battery and then plugging it in to see if does anything. If it powers up, you have a bad battery on your hands.

Its Sussed
After a bit of fiddling & switching around Acer adapters with no success I was left scratching my head, so with nothing to lose I thought why not try my Dell adapter I checked the outputs & they matched (nearly) & hey presto the battery charged & the old Acer fired up & came to life.
Seems my Wifes power adapter has developed a fault as well (Which I have now got the blame for & need to replace). The upshot is my Nephew thinks I am great.
The downside is my niece need a new LCD screen which is now my next project, I suppose it bis good Experience anyway.
Thanks buwish for some constructive advice.
