| 1378369 | 2014-07-03 03:54:00 | My old 5580 Acer Aspire laptop fell onto the floor and initially it restarted OK but then went dead after an hour or so. I've found the problem - the battery went flat as it now isn't being charged (charger checked and working OK) so I think there must be some damage to the plug in the laptop (It also doesn't work with plug in and the battery removed). I'm going to get another laptop but I need to get it started again to get some files off the laptop. As I know it works OK with a charged battery, my idea is to somehow feed the necessary voltage to the laptop connector/pins (photo attached) so I can restart it. Anyone have any idea what voltages should be on each of those those pins/terminals so I can get it working again? Thanks Battery type; Panasonic:www.ebay.com Photo showing battery connector on laptop: 5814 |

| 1378371 | 2014-07-03 04:01:00 | Yes, thanks that's a good idea but unfortunately I don't have another laptop/desktop only a small netbook that I'm using now - plus I wouldn't know where to start as I'm a noob with when it comes to computers! | tims (10184) | ||
| 1378372 | 2014-07-03 04:21:00 | Do you have some kind of USB enclosure?? Thats all you need, plug it in the hdd should appear in windows | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1378373 | 2014-07-03 05:18:00 | Who ever sells you the new laptop WILL be able to sort this out for you (there may be a cost involved) If they cant, buy your new laptop from someone else. My advice, now that you see the issues with data, buy a USB hard drive for backups. |

| 1378374 | 2014-07-03 07:08:00 | Good news - I got it working. I partially removed the back and found the internal power plug had snapped off the cct board so I bypassed it by soldering a couple of wires to the board and soldered these onto the power pack plug and away she went. I might by Acer again - this laptop must be 11-12 years old and refuses to die! Thanks for all your replies. |
