I've tried to take out the battery, put it back.. press the power button for 20 seconds.. nothing.. -- did you unplug AC adapter before you did this step? If not, try it again without the battery and AC adapter attached.

this sucks! any help? Will the bios flash work ? How can it boot from USB if it won't power on at all??? -- I doubt if that would work or if your BIOS is corrupt.

The only light is the battery light.. orange.. whether I have the power adaptor plugged in or not.. that light is blinking.. -- If there is a way for you to check the output voltage of the AC adapter or you have it checked by a friend who knows how to handle a multimeter. Compare that to the one listed on its label. Both values should at least be the same.

help please..
