    Hi all,
    My acer aspire 4720z power on some times and some times it not booting..if its boot, its working fine. If I shut down and try to power on it,(even it has 100% battary power) it dosent boot up. What is the reason for this? I cant figure out. is it because of battary? Or motherboard or Ram problem?
    Can anyone please help me..

    Try to remove the battery and run the laptop without it to see if you get the problem again. This way you can rule out the battery to be the source of the problem. Also when the laptop it's plugged in is it plugged always in the same place? I mean the same wall-plug?

    If you just bought the laptop you have a warranty. Why don't you copy the info you need(projects etc.) and send it back to ACER(or the store you bought it)?

    What is your laptop BIOS version? You should see this on startup. Maybe it's a BIOS defect which is later fixed with a released BIOS update..

    hi all,
