    Hi,

    I've a strange issue with the new Timeline X 4820TG (received today).
    When I power on the laptop (fully charged) :

    The caps lock led and num lock led blink about half second, then the power button and then the optical drive led.
    Again and again... And nothing else happens.
    No POST, display or even the cooling fan.

    Does anyone knows what is the meaning of this ?

    Call Microcenter (assuming that's where it came from) and Acer in that order.
