How to avoid having to Power Reset a battery

[jrobb]

I cannot power on my Acer E5 unless I do a “Power Reset” first.

If I remove the battery and A/C adapter then hold down the power button for 30 seconds, my laptop will turn on. When I turn it off, I can turn it back on within 15 minutes with no problem. After 15 minutes, I must do a power reset again.

I recently replaced the battery and it charges and holds a charge properly. The power LED’s do not light up when the A/C is connected except after I do the power reset. Then they work fine until I turn off the laptop. I have read posts that suggest that this is caused by static electricity build up but I don’t know how to prevent it. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Hi Jim. Welcome to PCHF.
Looking here, you have had this issue for some time.

How to avoid having to Power Reset my laptop each time I use it - Super User

You never had this issue before replacing the Battery.
I am guessing you have bought the wrong battery for your Laptop.
Double check again you have the exact battery installed.

Hi Doug Thanks for responding.
Let me clarify a little. Originally, I did not have this problem. But I had problems with the old battery. It would not charge and I noticed that the A/C LED would stay on after I unplugged the adapter. So I replaced the battery with a new one. After installing a new battery this problem began. The new battery was damaged when I received it so I had to get a 3rd battery (from a different source). But the problem continues. Again the battery functions properly. It’s just that the battery nor the A/C adapter will start the laptop unless I do a power reset. After it starts,everything works fine.

No progress on this problem yet. I went to a computer repair shop and demonstrated the problem. The technician told me that he has never heard of anything like this.
I am still hoping for some help.

I received a suggestion that I turnoff fast boot to solve the problem. I turned it off along with sleep and hibernate and my laptop now powers up normally. Thanks, for all the forum help.
