    Oh my god, have I seriously just f*$£%$ it??

    I've had an Acer Aspire 5020 Turion 64 for nearly 2 years now and it has served me well but today experienced a problem (possibly self-enduced) that seems to me irrepairable, can anyone offer any suggestions?

    Current situation is: When power button is pressed (with battery or AC power) button lights up but there is no noise whatsoever (no fan, clicks, whirrs etc) and yet the light stays on and cannot be switched off.

    Leading up to it: My 'N' key wasn't working so I pressed a bit too hard and everything went immediately dead. When I say too hard I don't mean hit, I just mean FIRM :) The same thing happened last week and I resolved the issue by removing the battery pack, replacing it where it was and everything worked fine (all the while thinking 'What's going on here??')

    One other thing that may be of relevance is that prior to this problem I flashed my laptops BIOS with an update recommended by ACER which apparently dealt with memory issues.

    I might be persuaded to look into the inner depths of the laptop i someone feels they know what might be the problem.

    ** Fingers crossed **
