If your Acer Aspire Switch 10 will not start up, the motherboard could be damaged. The motherboard can get fried from electrical shocks, damaged if dropped, and suffocated from poor ventilation. The motherboard is a computer's central communications backbone connectivity point, through which all components and external peripherals connect. Before using this guide make sure your device is charged. If it is and still does not work, complete the guide. Make sure your device is powered off and not connected to any external power sources before you begin.
