Why won't my laptop turn on?

One day I was using my laptop off the battery, when suddenly it shut off. I thought that the battery had just died, but after plugging it in, it didn't work. The charge light goes on and so does the power light. After pressing the power button, I can hear the fan run for approximately 3 seconds, then it shuts off. Nothing shows on the display. I know that the display isn't broken because I plugged it into an external display, which is what I normally use anyway, and nothing showed. It's not the hard drive, because it boots in my other computer. I am very good with this stuff (computer repair is my side hobby), but I have no idea where to start. All I need to know is what is wrong with it so I can replace it.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

try unplugging the power cord from adapter not the wall, if that doesent work remove the cover and check the battery even though its plugged in if the battery is no good it wont power up.

If your Acer Aspire laptop won’t turn on, use the Acer Aspire 5253 Won’t Turn On problem page for possible causes and solutions.
