Mine sat in the box for 4 years, after opening it and leaving it to charge for 4 hours I go to turn it on and all that happens is the “intel inside” logo appears on a black screen, and it stays frozen that way indefinitely?! What problems am I facing??
Hi @sydbent2016 , What happens if you leave the charger connected, does it work OK then? If so and it only has problems when on battery power, after 4 years in a box, most probably the battery needs to be replaced. Even though you have charged it, it may not be able to hold the charge when under load etc. I suggest that you start with replacing the battery and then after the new one has been fully charged see if there are more problems, if any. Here’s a link to the ifixit Acer Iconia One 7 Battery Replacement guide, that may be of some help. Batteries are available online. Just search for Acer Iconia One 7 battery to get results for suppliers.
