Question Acer Nitro 5 Won’t Turn On.

[Caleb Moore]

My nitro turned off randomly in the middle of the night and now when I got to turn it on all it does is make the keyboard flash repeatedly without anything else turning on. No fans, no screen, nothing. If I let it sit for awhile it eventually powers on, any known fix? This problem doesn’t happen often as it’s only done it 3 times this year but it’s still very, very annoying.

Possibly a bad connection with memory or a storage drive, or one of the two is having intermittent failures. Your first stop would be to reseat both components.

Long delays with POST (when the computer first boots and shows the manufacturere's splash/logo) often point to a problematic component.
