    Windows 10 clean install can't find a valid partition

    The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 repeatedly fails to install on my laptop. So I decided to do a clean install of Windows 10 from an USB ISO file. During the install I get ...Error: "We couldn’t create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log...

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    Yeah. If the laptop is off for about 4 hours or more, I have to remove the battery no matter what, in order to turn it on. I can run it on A/C without the battery, no problem. If I turn it off for less than 4 hours, I can turn it off and on all day with A/C only. But if I turn it off for more...

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    Thanks for the support Phillpower2. I use my laptop the same way that you do. The problem is that it will not turn on with only the A/C power connected. The battery must be in. So each time I turn it on, I must disconnect the HDMI, Ethernet and Adapter, turn it over remove the battery and...

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    Unfortunately I have no update. I am stumped. I have gotten great suggestions from the forum and local technicians. Some have helped my situation. A "power reset" is no longer need each time. But none have solved the problem. I guess I am going to have to live with having to remove/insert...

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    No, the notebook does not run hot. If I power in on and then immediately turn it off without running any programs I still have the same problem. At first I did have to get rid of the residual charge as you described, but now I do not. I disconnect the battery reconnect it immediately and the...

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    I did not install a chipset driver after the clean install. I did the clean install about 2 years ago. But I did not reinstall any drivers. Windows 10 and my laptop just worked after the install. Subsequently all updates pushed out by MS have been installed without problems. I had no problem...

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    The laptop was purchased with Windows 8.1 but I did a clean install of 10. Since then all scheduled updates have installed successfully. The problem started when the originally battery stopped charging and I replaced it with the recommended replacement battery.

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    New Information On a full battery charge I can use the laptop normally for about 10 hours. It powers up, I use it for a while and then turn it off. I can do this over and over for about 10 hours with no problems. After 10 hours if the laptop is off, I must remove the battery and insert it...

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    Still working the problem. It is getting better. I learned from the Acer website that replacement batteries must be "conditioned". They recommend a full discharge and recharge 3 times. I only have to remove and insert the battery now if the laptop is turned off over night as opposed to being...

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    I checked out Battery + Bulbs. They had only one battery for the E series Acer and it would not fit my laptop. My laptop is an E5-471G-56YK. The sites that I have checked only show the E5-471G. They don't show any further model breakdown. The manufacturers site describes the original...

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    I recently purchased a replacement battery for my Acer Aspire E5 471G laptop. After experiencing power on problems I found that the original battery when I purchased the laptop was labeled AL14A32 6-cell 2500 mAh Li-ion. The replacement battery is labeled Replacement AL14A32 11.1V 5200 mAh...

    Must disconnect and reconnect battery to power on Acer laptop

    This thread is related to How to avoid having to Power Reset a battery As it turns out, the previous solution only improved my situation. My laptop will now power on without a power reset. But if I leave it off overnight, I have to remove the battery and then put it back in in order to power...
