    Aye! Apologies, if that has been covered before, but could not find the exact band of problems...

    So, story is not original.

    ABout half a year ago my Aspire's [8930] power led started to blink and computer turned on only for couple minutes and in the end did not power up at ll. Did not help 45 second powerbutton holding and battery removing process. Then it stayed still for about a week and problem was just gone.

    Now it's the same. When power led started to blink I restarted the machine and it worked for about five minutes. During that you could see, that it switches between battery and cord power supply. Also, as it was also the last time, the adapter light on powercord was also blinking from bright green to dim green.

    Well, now it's dead again. When I plug the powercord into electricity socked just as that it burns evenly green. But the laptop is unresponsive.
    Now that 45 second process does not help as well.

    Thanks to my neighbor, who gave me this netbook to access interwebs with and ask this question... What to do?
