Acer laptop won t turn on orange light flashes 5 times

Re: Acer Swift 3 not powering up - leds flashing

The battery is new, and they say in the instructions to discharge it to 2% before recharging it, so I presume it has good power. I have 15.2 volts at the battery terminals and it is a 15.2V battery.

On AC, as soon as I plug in the adpater, the blue led comes on and that's it. If I press power on, nothing happens, the led stays solid blue.

If you want me to take voltage readings on any part of the motherboard, I am very willing to do so, just don't know where to look. I can also post close up pictures if you need me to. I looked for a schematic but all I found was a service manual that doesn't say much...but I can also upload that.

Thanks for your input!
