They had me take out the battery, hold the power button in for 1 minute, try to power it up with ac adapter but didn't work.

What a rip - it's not even 2 months old! Guess I'll send it in unless someone else has a better idea.

This happened to me this afternoon!!! I was in gmail.. all of a sudden, the screen went blank. There was still green light on the power so I pressed it and hold it to turn it off.. It won't turn off. I plugged the power and then all of a sudden the power went off (light went off).
I've tried to take out the battery, put it back.. press the power button for 20 seconds.. nothing..

this sucks! any help? Will the bios flash work ? How can it boot from USB if it won't power on at all???

The only light is the battery light.. orange.. whether I have the power adaptor plugged in or not.. that light is blinking..

help please..

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.

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..
