Help Acer 3680 has problems powering down and up

by gdi4u . Updated 17 years, 1 month ago

I have searched high and low for an answer and I can’t seem to find one and usually I can troubleshoot these problems myself, but this one has me puzzled. first off I should mention that the lid switch went out some time ago, so I don’t rely on that. Ok here’s the problem, most of the time I can’t just push the power button and power down when the system hangs, I have had to unplug the power and remove the battery to get it to power down, then when I go to power up it won’t start at least not right away for months I have thought that the power button is faulty but just the the other day, I reset my power settings and then it was working just fine like it should, but then the other day the core temperature was high and there was some overheating and when I closed and opened the lid again it finally started again, I don’t know if there is a connection with that. So I really don’t know what is causing this and would like to figure it out before it gets much worse.

Thanks
