Question Acer Swift 1 SF114 wont boot up, but keyboard lights up. Has the spill fried or short circuited the board? Well, I cannot see any burnt spots or smell anything weird. That was weird but still upon booting it, nothing.Īlso, while plugging in the AC adapter, usually a light glows indicating my laptop is getting charged, but now there is no light. When I plugged the battery back in, I was able to see a brief 5 second flash of all the keyboard backlights and the power button light.

I tried draining out the charge from the mobo(by removing the battery and holding the power button for a min).

Fans didn't start up, no lights and display. I tried all the common fixes(Checking RAM, SSD, power button connections, battery). I have done all this before and it usually goes smoothly. While I was at it, I also reapplied the thermal paste. I had a keyboard dust and spill issue where if I press a key, say '7' it would type in '7mdk' sorta thing. I have a ASUS FX504GD Laptop(i5-8300H, 24GB RAM, GTX 1050, Asus BIOS 317, 250 GB SSD and 1TB HDD).
