  To troubleshoot power issues on your Acer Laptop, ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the laptop and the electrical outlet. Try removing any extension cables or surge protectors and plug the laptop directly into a known good outlet. If this doesn't resolve the issue, disconnect the power, open the casing, and check for obstructions in the thermal unit and fan airways. As a next step, remove all external and non-essential hardware. Finally, consider removing any recently installed software.
