    So yea I was just sitting there browsing the internet and the damn thing just shut off and now it won't turn back on. The battery was totally charged... so does that just mean it's fried or what? It's a year and a half old so .

    Any help is appreciated.

    Alright cool man I just took out the battery and put it back in and it's on again. I was having a hard time taking the battery out so I wasn't sure about it at first... didn't want to break it or anything lol.. but it was just that simple. Thanks

    it could be that it looked like the AC was in but it wasnt.

    best way to make sure youre on ac is the battery icon and it has a plug in it.
