i can only charge it by the secandary port now the light is sometimes blue or orange when i try to turn on it wont but some times i can see the montior flash and then nothing it has done this for a long time and i dont want to send it in Update (08/08/2017) my pin hole is on top insted of where you said it was between the micro sd and headphones still i probed the pinhole and could not feela switch for reset
If the device has a charge, the indicator light on the power button displays a steady blue or amber color when plugged in, and still will not turn it needs to be reset. There is a reset pinhole between the microphone and Micro SD card slot on the right side of the device (screen facing you in upright position). Insert a pin needle size object into the pinhole and hold down the reset button for four seconds. Device should turn on.Hope this helps
The above I think will assist for basic reset but mine like the original posters, has a light but no amount of poking the hole resets the devise . Mine wont power on after a acer bios update which appears to have killed the devise. Very poor support on these firmware updates.
My Acer in aspire one have the same problem…orange light but cant boot up..i just don’t know what to do..
