    gotta send it in. bios got corrupted. not your fault, its a known problem with the aspire one's. Same thing happened to me when i had an AA1.

    If you think your capable, all you have to do to fix it yourself is remove the battery, disassemble the netbook, remove the CMOS battery, wait 10 seconds... pop it back in, put it back together and it'll work like new.

    No need to do that. Macles has a bios recovery instructional set up, and it's been done many times (by myself also).

    That doesn't actually update the bios in my experiences. You should update the bios afterwards.
