acer goes blank when power supply connected

"Solution #1

To fix this issue, go into Power Options, Edit Plan Settings of the active plan, set Change plan brightness to the maximum for both battery and plugged in. You can access the same setting under Change advanced power settings>Display>Display Brightness.

Solution #2

Change your power options to default in the control panel.

Solution #3

Replace your battery, it could be detecting the battery is below the 5% hibernate mark. (defective battery)

Solution #4

You might need to go back to your previous version of windows I found this chat on the forms.

(customer service representative I was told repeatedly that my model was not designed for Windows 8/8.1 and that ASUS does not recommend installing unsupported operating systems on their hardware. So in other words, don't expect any help from ASUS.)

Good Luck."
