Hi -

I have an Acer Travelmate 512DX (yes I know it is old - very old).
With power supply plugged into outlet, battery indicator light gives quick flashes of green light. The power button will not turn on the machine.

I then unplugged machine, and took battery out. Then I put battery back in and turned machine on with battery in. Machine began to powerup and beeped 5 times and then shut itself down.

So I tried the same thing again with the battery and this time plugged the power supply in while it was powering up - and it immediately shut the machine down.

Any clues?

Thanks - Deb
