    Good day everyone, got a problem with an acer aspire one pav70 mini laptop wich after turning it off wont turn on again no light on leds no screen.
    Ive tried turning it on by pressing fn and esc, tried to turn it on without battery, with battery and also thought it might be the charger but when I plug it in after some time if i touch the battery its heating
    even when theres no led notificacion.

    Ive heard there are problems with the bios on these machines and that you can update the bios with a usb stick but my pc wont even try to flash cause it wont turn anything on, tried getting the cmos battery
    out to reset the bios but it seems like its soldered to the motherboard.

    Any help is greatly apreciated.

    thanks in advance.

    That sounds like a short-circuit or a motherboard issue, not a BIOS issue.

    Thanks for your reply, thought that there could be a way of solving it ,hope never dies hehe. Also kept searching because I read elsewhere someone that had the same issue with same symptoms and he claims to have flashed the bios, but my computer doesnt even start flashing it.

    thanks again I guess Ill have to send it for repair.
