I have a 2 year old Acer Aspire S100 running on Windows XP, service pack 2. It has virtually been trouble free since I got it, at least until now.
Yesterday when I was going to use the laptop, which sat idling at home, the mouse pointer didn't move and none of the keyboard buttons had any effect. The screen had gotten darker which it does when the computer hasn't been in use for a little while.
I restarted using the power button (which incidentally is the only button working), the computer rebooted with the screen dimmed as before and again, nothing worked.

I've restarted many times and it's always the same, I can't even access the bios because there is no response to F2 during bootup.

I'd appreciate any help!
