    So i've had my AA1 for only 18 days and today while i was watching the office on it, it just randomly went blank and it wouldn't turn on. Whats the matter with my AA1??? It doesn't have a dead battery because It was charging while i was watching. What could be the matter >.<

    In that case I would suggest sending AA1 to nearest service then...

    Have you unplugged and replugged in your charger to the bak of the computer? Sometimes the battery/computer interface needs a reset.

    Umm Yep I've tried unplugging the battery pack and the charger and nothing...
    I've also tried the bios flash thingy but... My AA1 won't even turn on (no lights what so ever) so I can't do that either

    I purchased mine from a local dealer so it was kinda easy for me to just get a new one. I only had it 14 days too. If you have to send it back to teh place you purchaed it from it may be smarter to send it to Acer since it's has it's year warranty with it taking just as long to get it fixed or a new one and it may/will happen agian if you get a new one from the place you purchased from.
