Acer Aspire 5733Z will not turn on

[Teamerdman]

I have an Acer Aspire 5733Z. It will not turn on under any circumstance (with battery or without, plugged in or not). The blue charging light comes on when the battery is in place and it's plugged in, but nothing else works. No fan, screen, clicking...nothing. Water was spilled on it about a week ago but I took it apart and dried it immediately. No water damage was found. It worked appropriately for a couple of days after that and now won't turn on. Coincidental timing?

When you dried it out, did you leave it alone (not on or used) for a few days to allow it to fully dry? If not, then there may well be damage from the water.

Other than that, you can try the following and see if it will allow it to turn on....

1. First make sure the device has been charged.
2. Unplug your charger cord.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds and see if the device will turn on.
5. If it does, great, now plug back in the power/charger cord. (If it didn't turn on without the cord in, it should turn on once you it is in. Yes sometimes they will turn on, or try to turn on, even with nothing attached/plugged in.)
6. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in your laptop.

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.

From there, if it is still not working, then you may need to open it up and find out the problem. Or take it to a local tech/repair shop.
