Urgent help

wavell · 07-06-2009, 04:44 AM

I am currently borrowing my girlfriends Acer aspire 3620 while she is overseas. Two days ago I was playing a data disc when the screen flashed off. The power button is still lit up aswell as the battery button. When I plugged the charger in it made a beep sound and it beeper again when I took it off the charge (thinking the battery must have died). Pressing the sleep, enter and power buttons dont do anything at all...

Any help is appreciated! Thanks

With the adapter plugged in (using AC power), what happens if you power the laptop ON? Any signs of life? See anything on the screen?

Hey mate, I read into it a bit more and all I had to do was take the battery out and put it back in... Can't believe I didnt think of it before I posted a question!

Thanks heaps for looking at the question and trying to help
