Please help. I forgot to plug a/c back of my Acer laptop Aspire 5738. Now I realized and plugged to a/c for 1 day but its power does not come back. I tried to take out the battery and pressed power button for few seconds but it does not do anything. I put back the battery and pressed/held power button for few seconds, the power blue light came up with fan noise for a second and stops. Please help. Thanks.

Try leaving the laptop plugged in so it can fully charge the battery. It will need two to three hours.

It's possible that you need a new battery.

Good Luck

Hi xpcman
Txn for helping me. However, I left it charged for more than a day. It's still not working. Besides, does it need battery to work when it's plugged to outlet. I thought when it's plugged to outlet it doesn't need battery to work. I may have stupid question. .

It should work when plugged in even without a battery.
Perhaps this routine will work for you.

1. Remove the battery and unplug the charger
2. press and hold the power button for 30 seconds
3. install the battery and the charger cord
4. start as normal

Good luck
