    Hi, Ive had the Aspire One netbook for a couple years, and havent had any problems till now. I tried to turn it on the other morning and it wont. The battery is fully charged and I have the wall charger plugged into it and the battery light is green (meaning fully charged). When I push the on button nothing happens . If I hold the on button down, the light on that button will flash green. As soon as I let it go it stops flashing. Also I purchased a new charger off the internet a few months ago. It has worked fine ever since I got it, but I thought I should mention it. The ony other thing I noticed is when I try to turn it on, the battery light will go out, I have to unplug it then plug it back in for it to light up. Almost like its shorting out... Any ideas would be great. Thanks.
